Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 13 Aug in Sevan?
Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 13 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:00 Tue to 23:29.
Ekadashi ended at 23:29 Wed; 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 Wed 13 Aug only, at 06:08: Wed 13 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:00 Tue, before it (04:32–06:08).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 14 Aug, 06:09–19:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:29 on Wed 13 Aug to 02:00 on Fri 15 Aug; harivasara ends at 06:07. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 14 Aug, 06:09. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:55.
