Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 19 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 19 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:18 to 04:40 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:40; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:18 Fri to 04:40.
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 Fri 19 Jul only, at 05:46: Fri 19 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:18, before it (04:10–05:46).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 20 Jul, 11:18–20:25 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:40 on Sat 20 Jul to 07:10 on Sun 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:25: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:42, which here ends before harivasara does.
