Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 8 Jul in Baoding?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 8 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:33 Thu to 19:44.
Ekadashi ended at 19:44 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 8 Jul only, at 05:00: Fri 8 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:33 Thu, before it (03:24–05:00).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 9 Jul, 05:00–19:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:44 on Fri 8 Jul to 20:12 on Sat 9 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:51. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 9 Jul, 05:00. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:57.
The rule
