Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 20 Aug in Sevan?

Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 20 Aug: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:18 to 07:34 Thu.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:18 Wed to 07:34.

Dwadashi: 07:34 Thu to 09:59, longer than its day: it grows too.

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 both sunrises, 07:13 on Wed 19 Aug and 07:14 on Thu 20 Aug. Ekadashi (05:18 Wed 19 Aug to 07:34 Thu 20 Aug) and Dwadashi (07:34 Thu 20 Aug to 09:59 Fri 21 Aug) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Thu 20 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 21 Aug, 07:15–09:59

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:34 on Thu 20 Aug to 09:59 on Fri 21 Aug; harivasara ends at 14:10 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 21 Aug, 07:15.

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).
