Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 22 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Sat 22 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:56 Fri to 18:48.

Ekadashi ended at 18:48 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 22 Aug only, at 06:11: Sat 22 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:56 Fri, before it (04:35–06:11).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 23 Aug, 06:11–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:48 on Sat 22 Aug to 21:01 on Sun 23 Aug; harivasara ends at 01:21. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 23 Aug, 06:11. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta: 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).
