Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 16 Aug in Şefaatlı?

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: 02:42 to 01:19 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 01:19; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:42 Wed to 01:19.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). 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 05:54: Wed 16 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:42, before it (04:18–05:54).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 Aug, 06:48–19:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:19 on Thu 17 Aug to 23:13 on Thu 17 Aug; harivasara ends at 06:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39.

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).
