Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 17 Aug in Sevan?
Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 17 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:37 to 05:03 Thu.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:03; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:37 Wed to 05:03.
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 17 Aug only, at 06:12: Wed 17 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:37, before it (04:36–06:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 18 Aug, 11:39–19:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:03 on Thu 18 Aug to 07:27 on Fri 19 Aug; harivasara ends at 11:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:57, which here ends before harivasara does.
