Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 21 Jul or Wed 22 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 21 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 22 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:44. Ekadashi: 06:44 to 03:55 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 03:55; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:44 Tue to 03:55.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:44 on Tue 21 Jul, after that sunrise (06:02), and ends at 03:55 on Wed 22 Jul, before the next (06:02 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 21 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 21 Jul arunodaya (04:26–06:02) is Dashami. On Wed 22 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:55, then Dwadashi): Wed 22 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 22 Jul, 09:08–19:08 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:55 on Wed 22 Jul to 00:49 on Thu 23 Jul; harivasara ends at 09:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:08: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Thu 23 Jul, 06:02–19:08 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:49 on Thu 23 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:26): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:02, to sunset, 19:08, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
