Why is Aja Ekadashi on Tue 24 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Tue 24 Aug: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.

Dashami until 05:05, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:05 to 07:31 Tue.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:05 Mon to 07:31.

Dwadashi: 07:31 Tue to 10:04, longer than its day: it grows too.

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 both sunrises, 06:12 on Mon 23 Aug and 06:12 on Tue 24 Aug. Ekadashi (05:05 Mon 23 Aug to 07:31 Tue 24 Aug) and Dwadashi (07:31 Tue 24 Aug to 10:04 Wed 25 Aug) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Tue 24 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Mon 23 Aug Dashami lasts until 05:05, inside it (04:36–06:12); on Tue 24 Aug Ekadashi holds all of it.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 25 Aug, 06:12–10:04

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:31 on Tue 24 Aug to 10:04 on Wed 25 Aug; harivasara ends at 14:09 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 25 Aug, 06:12.

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).
