Why is Aja Ekadashi on Tue 25 Aug in Sevan?

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: 01:59 to 00:09 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 00:09; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). 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 07:19: Tue 25 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:59, before it (05:43–07:19).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 26 Aug, 07:20–20:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:09 on Wed 26 Aug to 22:34 on Wed 26 Aug; harivasara ends at 05:46. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 26 Aug, 07:20. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:41: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:01.

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).
