Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 24 Jul in Gresham?
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: 20:43 Thu to 23:04.
Ekadashi ended at 23:04 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 05:44: Fri 24 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:43 Thu, before it (04:08–05:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 25 Jul, 05:45–20:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:04 on Fri 24 Jul to 01:28 on Sun 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:40. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 25 Jul, 05:45. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
