Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 13 Aug in Sevan?

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: 17:00 Sun to 18:51.

Ekadashi ended at 18:51 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 06:08: Mon 13 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:00 Sun, before it (04:32–06:08).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 14 Aug, 06:09–19:58 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:51 on Mon 13 Aug to 20:05 on Tue 14 Aug; harivasara ends at 01:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 14 Aug, 06:09. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:58: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:55.

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).
