Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 2 Jul in Chahārbāgh?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 2 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:14 Sat to 22:04.
Ekadashi ended at 22:04 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 2 Jul only, at 04:54: Sun 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:14 Sat, before it (03:18–04:54).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 3 Jul, 04:55–19:26 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:04 on Sun 2 Jul to 21:17 on Mon 3 Jul; harivasara ends at 03:52. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 3 Jul, 04:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:26: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:49.
The rule
