Why is Aja Ekadashi on Fri 25 Aug or Sat 26 Aug in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Fri 25 Aug: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 26 Aug.

Dashami until 06:35, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:35 to 03:49 Sat.

Ekadashi ended at 03:49; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:35 Fri to 03:49.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 25 Aug only, at 07:20: Fri 25 Aug.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 25 Aug Dashami lasts until 06:35, inside arunodaya (05:44–07:20), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:49, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 26 Aug: Sat 26 Aug.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 26 Aug, 09:04–20:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:49 on Sat 26 Aug to 00:48 on Sun 27 Aug; harivasara ends at 09:04. 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.

Vaishnava · Sun 27 Aug, 07:22–20:39 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 00:48 on Sun 27 Aug, in the night, before arunodaya (05:46): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:22, to sunset, 20:39, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
