Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 2 Jul in Sevan?
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: 23:44 Sat to 22:34.
Ekadashi ended at 22:34 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 05:33: Sun 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:44 Sat, before it (03:57–05:33).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 3 Jul, 05:34–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:34 on Sun 2 Jul to 21:47 on Mon 3 Jul; harivasara ends at 04:22. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 3 Jul, 05:34. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34.
The rule
