Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sun 10 Sep in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Sun 10 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:18 Sat to 21:28.

Ekadashi ended at 21:28 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 10 Sep only, at 06:15: Sun 10 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:18 Sat, before it (04:39–06:15).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 11 Sep, 06:15–18:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:28 on Sun 10 Sep to 23:52 on Mon 11 Sep; harivasara ends at 04:04. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 11 Sep, 06:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:35: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.

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).
