Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 29 Aug in Sevan?

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: 23:50 Wed to 00:08 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 00:08; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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 29 Aug only, at 06:24: Thu 29 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:50 Wed, before it (04:48–06:24).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 30 Aug, 06:25–19:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:08 on Fri 30 Aug to 00:55 on Sat 31 Aug; harivasara ends at 06:20. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 30 Aug, 06:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:03.

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).
