Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 19 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 19 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:53 Tue to 22:12.
Ekadashi ended at 22:12 Wed; 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 Wed 19 Jul only, at 05:45: Wed 19 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:53 Tue, before it (04:09–05:45).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 20 Jul, 05:46–20:26 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:12 on Wed 19 Jul to 22:49 on Thu 20 Jul; harivasara ends at 04:21. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 20 Jul, 05:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:26: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:42.
