Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 21 Aug in Pāthardi?

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

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:34 to 04:52 Tue.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:52; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:34 Mon to 04:52.

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 Mon 21 Aug only, at 06:11: Mon 21 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:34, before it (04:35–06:11).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 22 Aug, 11:22–18:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:52 on Tue 22 Aug to 06:51 on Wed 23 Aug; harivasara ends at 11:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
