Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 24 Jul in Cuenca?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 24 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:43 Thu to 01:04 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 01:04; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 24 Jul only, at 06:23: Fri 24 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:43 Thu, before it (04:47–06:23).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 25 Jul, 07:40–18:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:04 on Sat 25 Jul to 03:28 on Sun 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:40. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46.
