Why is Aja Ekadashi on Tue 25 Aug in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Tue 25 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:29 to 00:39 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 00:39; 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 Tue 25 Aug only, at 06:12: Tue 25 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:29, before it (04:36–06:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 26 Aug, 06:16–18:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:39 on Wed 26 Aug to 23:04 on Wed 26 Aug; harivasara ends at 06:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:49: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
