Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 3 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 3 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:24 to 23:40.
Ekadashi ended at 23:40 Tue; 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 Tue 3 Jul only, at 05:34: Tue 3 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:24, before it (03:58–05:34).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 4 Jul, 05:35–20:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:40 on Tue 3 Jul to 22:12 on Wed 4 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:18. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 4 Jul, 05:35. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
