Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 19 Aug in Sevan?
Aja Ekadashi is on Mon 19 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:05 to 01:56 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 01:56; 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 Mon 19 Aug only, at 06:14: Mon 19 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:05, before it (04:38–06:14).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 20 Aug, 08:16–19:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:56 on Tue 20 Aug to 03:16 on Wed 21 Aug; harivasara ends at 08:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:58.
