Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 30 Jun or Fri 1 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 30 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jul.
Dashami until 04:55, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:55 to 05:10 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:10; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:55 Thu to 05:10.
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 Thu 30 Jun only, at 05:32: Thu 30 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 30 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:55, inside arunodaya (03:56–05:32), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:10, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jul: Fri 1 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 1 Jul, 11:01–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:10 on Fri 1 Jul to 04:37 on Sat 2 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:01. 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 08:33, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 2 Jul, 03:57–04:37 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:37 on Sat 2 Jul, after arunodaya begins (03:57) and before sunrise (05:33). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- 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).
