Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 21 Aug in Sevan?

Aja Ekadashi is on Sat 21 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:17 Fri to 20:39.

Ekadashi ended at 20:39 Sat; 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 Sat 21 Aug only, at 06:16: Sat 21 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:17 Fri, before it (04:40–06:16).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 22 Aug, 06:17–19:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:39 on Sat 21 Aug to 20:14 on Sun 22 Aug; harivasara ends at 02:33. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 22 Aug, 06:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:59.

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).
