Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 15 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 15 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:40 Tue to 21:41.

Ekadashi ended at 21:41 Wed; 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 Wed 15 Aug only, at 06:10: Wed 15 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:40 Tue, before it (04:34–06:10).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 16 Aug, 06:10–18:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:41 on Wed 15 Aug to 19:02 on Thu 16 Aug; harivasara ends at 03:01. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 16 Aug, 06:10. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:56: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.

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).
