Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 2 Sep or Fri 3 Sep in Saatlı?
Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 2 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 3 Sep.
Dashami until 04:52, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:52 to 06:14 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:14; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:52 Thu to 06:14.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 06:15: Thu 2 Sep.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 2 Sep Dashami lasts until 04:52, inside arunodaya (04:39–06:15), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 06:14, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 3 Sep: Fri 3 Sep.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 3 Sep, 12:24–19:14 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:14 on Fri 3 Sep to 06:54 on Sat 4 Sep; harivasara ends at 12:24. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:14: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:51, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 4 Sep, 06:17–06:54
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:14 on Fri 3 Sep to 06:54 on Sat 4 Sep; harivasara ends at 12:24 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 4 Sep, 06:17.
