Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 5 Sep or Thu 6 Sep in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 5 Sep: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 6 Sep.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:30. Ekadashi: 06:30 to 03:45 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:45; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:30 Wed to 03:45.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:30 on Wed 5 Sep, after that sunrise (06:16), and ends at 03:45 on Thu 6 Sep, before the next (06:15 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 5 Sep.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 5 Sep arunodaya (04:40–06:16) is Dashami. On Thu 6 Sep it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:45, then Dwadashi): Thu 6 Sep.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 6 Sep, 08:59–18:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:45 on Thu 6 Sep to 00:42 on Fri 7 Sep; harivasara ends at 08:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 7 Sep, 06:15–18:06 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:42 on Fri 7 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:39): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:15, to sunset, 18:06, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
