Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sun 3 Sep in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Sun 3 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:51 to 00:35 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 00:35; 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 Sun 3 Sep only, at 06:14: Sun 3 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:51, before it (04:38–06:14).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 4 Sep, 06:20–18:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:35 on Mon 4 Sep to 23:38 on Mon 4 Sep; harivasara ends at 06:20. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:41: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
