Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 25 Aug in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 25 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:52 Wed to 17:28.
Ekadashi ended at 17:28 Thu; 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 Thu 25 Aug only, at 06:12: Thu 25 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:52 Wed, before it (04:36–06:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 26 Aug, 06:12–16:14
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:28 on Thu 25 Aug to 16:14 on Fri 26 Aug; harivasara ends at 23:09 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 26 Aug, 06:12. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- 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).
