Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 15 Aug in Sevan?
Aja Ekadashi is on Mon 15 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:50 Sun to 20:12.
Ekadashi ended at 20:12 Mon; 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 Mon 15 Aug only, at 06:10: Mon 15 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:50 Sun, before it (04:34–06:10).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 16 Aug, 06:11–19:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:12 on Mon 15 Aug to 22:11 on Tue 16 Aug; harivasara ends at 02:42. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 16 Aug, 06:11. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:56: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:56.
