Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 2 Jul in Diffa?
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: 20:44 Sat to 19:34.
Ekadashi ended at 19:34 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 sunrise on Sun 2 Jul only, at 05:46: Sun 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:44 Sat, before it (04:10–05:46).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 3 Jul, 05:47–18:40 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:34 on Sun 2 Jul to 18:47 on Mon 3 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:22. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 3 Jul, 05:47. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:40: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:21.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
