Why is Aja Ekadashi on Fri 24 Aug in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Fri 24 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:17 Thu to 19:39.
Ekadashi ended at 19:39 Fri; 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 Fri 24 Aug only, at 06:12: Fri 24 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:17 Thu, before it (04:36–06:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 25 Aug, 06:12–16:53
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:39 on Fri 24 Aug to 16:53 on Sat 25 Aug; harivasara ends at 00:58. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 25 Aug, 06:12. 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)

- Breaking the fast
