Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 23 Aug in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Sat 23 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:45 Fri to 00:58 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 00:58; 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 Sat 23 Aug only, at 06:11: Sat 23 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:45 Fri, before it (04:35–06:11).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Aug, 07:06–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:58 on Sun 24 Aug to 01:29 on Mon 25 Aug; harivasara ends at 07:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
