Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sun 16 Aug or Mon 17 Aug in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Sun 16 Aug: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 17 Aug.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:11. Ekadashi: 07:11 to 04:26 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 04:26; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:11 Sun to 04:26.
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 begins at 07:11 on Sun 16 Aug, after that sunrise (07:11), and ends at 04:26 on Mon 17 Aug, before the next (07:12 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 16 Aug.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 16 Aug arunodaya (05:35–07:11) is Dashami. On Mon 17 Aug it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:26, then Dwadashi): Mon 17 Aug.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 17 Aug, 09:39–20:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:26 on Mon 17 Aug to 01:19 on Tue 18 Aug; harivasara ends at 09:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:56.
Vaishnava · Tue 18 Aug, 07:13–20:53 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:19 on Tue 18 Aug, in the night, before arunodaya (05:37): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:13, to sunset, 20:53, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
