Why is Aja Ekadashi on Fri 3 Sep in Chahārbāgh?
Aja Ekadashi is on Fri 3 Sep: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:22, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:22 to 06:44 Fri.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:22 Thu to 06:44.
Dwadashi: 06:44 Fri to 07:24, longer than its day: it grows too.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:39 on Thu 2 Sep and 06:40 on Fri 3 Sep. Ekadashi (05:22 Thu 2 Sep to 06:44 Fri 3 Sep) and Dwadashi (06:44 Fri 3 Sep to 07:24 Sat 4 Sep) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 3 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Thu 2 Sep Dashami lasts until 05:22, inside it (05:03–06:39); on Fri 3 Sep Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 4 Sep, 06:40–07:24
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:44 on Fri 3 Sep to 07:24 on Sat 4 Sep; harivasara ends at 12:54 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 4 Sep, 06:40.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).

- Breaking the fast
