Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 25 Jul in Diffa?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 25 Jul: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 04:43, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:43 to 07:04 Sat.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:43 Fri to 07:04.
Dwadashi: 07:04 Sat to 09:28, longer than its day: it grows too.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:52 on Fri 24 Jul and 05:53 on Sat 25 Jul. Ekadashi (04:43 Fri 24 Jul to 07:04 Sat 25 Jul) and Dwadashi (07:04 Sat 25 Jul to 09:28 Sun 26 Jul) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 25 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Fri 24 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:43, inside it (04:16–05:52); on Sat 25 Jul Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 26 Jul, 05:53–09:28
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:04 on Sat 25 Jul to 09:28 on Sun 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 13:40 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 26 Jul, 05:53.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
