Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 2 Sep in Diffa?

Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 2 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:52 to 03:14 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 03:14; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:52 Thu to 03:14.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 2 Sep only, at 05:58: Thu 2 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:52, before it (04:22–05:58).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 3 Sep, 09:24–18:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:14 on Fri 3 Sep to 03:54 on Sat 4 Sep; harivasara ends at 09:24. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:26, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
