Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 8 Sep or Thu 9 Sep in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 8 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 9 Sep.

Dashami until 04:13, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:13 to 01:35 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 01:35; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:13 Wed to 01:35.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 8 Sep only, at 05:31: Wed 8 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 8 Sep Dashami lasts until 04:13, inside arunodaya (03:55–05:31), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 01:35, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 9 Sep: Thu 9 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 9 Sep, 06:56–18:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:35 on Thu 9 Sep to 22:53 on Thu 9 Sep; harivasara ends at 06:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:17: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:05.

Vaishnava · Fri 10 Sep, 05:35–18:18 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 22:53 Thu on Fri 10 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (03:57): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:33, to sunset, 18:16, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
