Why is Aja Ekadashi on Tue 8 Sep in Sevan?
Aja Ekadashi is on Tue 8 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:40 to 02:37 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 02:37; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:40 Tue to 02:37.
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 Tue 8 Sep only, at 06:33: Tue 8 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:40, before it (04:57–06:33).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 9 Sep, 08:59–19:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:37 on Wed 9 Sep to 04:05 on Thu 10 Sep; harivasara ends at 08:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:07.
