Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 28 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 28 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:56 Wed to 21:00.

Ekadashi ended at 21:00 Thu; 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 Thu 28 Aug only, at 06:13: Thu 28 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:56 Wed, before it (04:37–06:13).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 29 Aug, 06:13–18:46 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:00 on Thu 28 Aug to 22:34 on Fri 29 Aug; harivasara ends at 03:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 29 Aug, 06:13. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:46: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.

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).
