Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 26 Aug or Tue 27 Aug in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Mon 26 Aug: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 27 Aug.

Dashami until 05:32, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:32 to 03:39 Tue.

Ekadashi ended at 03:39; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:32 Mon to 03:39.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 26 Aug only, at 06:20: Mon 26 Aug.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 26 Aug Dashami lasts until 05:32, inside arunodaya (04:44–06:20), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:39, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 27 Aug: Tue 27 Aug.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 27 Aug, 09:01–19:40 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:39 on Tue 27 Aug to 01:06 on Wed 28 Aug; harivasara ends at 09:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:40: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:01.

Vaishnava · Wed 28 Aug, 06:22–19:39 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:06 on Wed 28 Aug, in the night, before arunodaya (04:46): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:22, to sunset, 19:39, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
