Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 13 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Mon 13 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:30 Sun to 20:21.

Ekadashi ended at 20:21 Mon; 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 Mon 13 Aug only, at 06:09: Mon 13 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:30 Sun, before it (04:33–06:09).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 14 Aug, 06:09–18:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:21 on Mon 13 Aug to 21:35 on Tue 14 Aug; harivasara ends at 02:39. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 14 Aug, 06:09. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:57: 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).
