Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 29 Aug in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 29 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:20 to 01:38 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 01:38; 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 Thu 29 Aug only, at 06:13: Thu 29 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:20, before it (04:37–06:13).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 30 Aug, 07:50–18:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:38 on Fri 30 Aug to 02:25 on Sat 31 Aug; harivasara ends at 07:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.
