Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 16 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 16 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:33 Tue to 22:03.
Ekadashi ended at 22:03 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 16 Jul only, at 05:43: Wed 16 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:33 Tue, before it (04:07–05:43).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 Jul, 05:44–20:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:03 on Wed 16 Jul to 21:59 on Thu 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 04:02. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 17 Jul, 05:44. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:41.
