Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 23 Aug in Sevan?

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: 23:15 Fri to 00:28 Sun.

Ekadashi ended at 00:28; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). 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 07:17: Sat 23 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:15 Fri, before it (05:41–07:17).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Aug, 07:18–20:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:28 on Sun 24 Aug to 00:59 on Mon 25 Aug; harivasara ends at 06:36. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 24 Aug, 07:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:00.

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).
