Why is Aja Ekadashi on Fri 21 Aug or Sat 22 Aug in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Fri 21 Aug: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 22 Aug.

Dashami until 04:59, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:59 to 02:04 Sat.

Ekadashi ended at 02:04; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:59 Fri to 02:04.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 21 Aug only, at 06:16: Fri 21 Aug.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 21 Aug Dashami lasts until 04:59, inside arunodaya (04:40–06:16), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:04, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 22 Aug: Sat 22 Aug.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 22 Aug, 07:14–19:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:04 on Sat 22 Aug to 22:47 on Sat 22 Aug; harivasara ends at 07:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:59.

Vaishnava · Sun 23 Aug, 06:18–19:46 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 22:47 Sat on Sun 23 Aug, in the night, before arunodaya (04:42): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:18, to sunset, 19:46, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
