Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 15 Jul in Diffa?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 15 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:12 to 02:22 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 02:22; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:12 Sun to 02:22.
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 15 Jul only, at 05:50: Sun 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:12, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 16 Jul, 08:57–18:40 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:22 on Mon 16 Jul to 04:43 on Tue 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:57. 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 08:24, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
