Why is Aja Ekadashi on Mon 23 Aug in Sevan?
Aja Ekadashi is on Mon 23 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:35 to 06:01 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:01; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:35 Mon to 06:01.
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 23 Aug only, at 06:18: Mon 23 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:35, before it (04:42–06:18).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 24 Aug, 12:39–19:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:01 on Tue 24 Aug to 08:34 on Wed 25 Aug; harivasara ends at 12:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:00, which here ends before harivasara does.
