Why is Aja Ekadashi on Fri 14 Aug or Sat 15 Aug in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Fri 14 Aug: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 15 Aug.
Dashami until 05:32, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:32 to 05:50 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:50; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:32 Fri to 05:50.
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 holds sunrise on Fri 14 Aug only, at 06:32: Fri 14 Aug.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 14 Aug Dashami lasts until 05:32, inside arunodaya (04:56–06:32), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:50, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 15 Aug: Sat 15 Aug.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 15 Aug, 11:43–18:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:50 on Sat 15 Aug to 05:21 on Sun 16 Aug; harivasara ends at 11:43. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:49, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 16 Aug, 04:55–05:21 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 05:21 on Sun 16 Aug, after arunodaya begins (04:55) and before sunrise (06:31). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
