Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 24 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Sat 24 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:57 to 02:54 Sun.

Ekadashi ended at 02:54; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:57 Sat to 02:54.

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 Sat 24 Aug only, at 06:12: Sat 24 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:57, before it (04:36–06:12).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 25 Aug, 09:15–18:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:54 on Sun 25 Aug to 04:17 on Mon 26 Aug; harivasara ends at 09:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:49: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
