Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 20 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:28 Thu to 20:07.
Ekadashi ended at 20:07 Fri; 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 Fri 20 Jul only, at 05:46: Fri 20 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:28 Thu, before it (04:10–05:46).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 21 Jul, 05:47–17:10
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:07 on Fri 20 Jul to 17:10 on Sat 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 21 Jul, 05:47. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
The rule
