Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 16 Aug in Chahārbāgh?

Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 16 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:12 to 01:49 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 01:49; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:12 Wed to 01:49.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 16 Aug only, at 05:26: Wed 16 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:12, before it (03:50–05:26).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 Aug, 07:18–18:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:49 on Thu 17 Aug to 23:43 on Thu 17 Aug; harivasara ends at 07:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:08.

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).
