Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 7 Sep in Pāthardi?
Aja Ekadashi is on Mon 7 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:29 Sun to 17:04.
Ekadashi ended at 17:04 Mon; 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 Mon 7 Sep only, at 06:15: Mon 7 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:29 Sun, before it (04:39–06:15).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 8 Sep, 06:15–14:43
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:04 on Mon 7 Sep to 14:43 on Tue 8 Sep; harivasara ends at 22:29 Mon. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 8 Sep, 06:15. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.
