Why is Aja Ekadashi on Thu 8 Sep or Fri 9 Sep in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Thu 8 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 9 Sep.

Dashami until 05:12, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:12 to 02:48 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 02:48; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:12 Thu to 02:48.

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 Thu 8 Sep only, at 06:34: Thu 8 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 8 Sep Dashami lasts until 05:12, inside arunodaya (04:58–06:34), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:48, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 9 Sep: Fri 9 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 9 Sep, 08:03–19:17 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:48 on Fri 9 Sep to 23:51 on Fri 9 Sep; harivasara ends at 08:03. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:17: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:08.

Vaishnava · Sat 10 Sep, 06:36–19:16 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:51 Fri on Sat 10 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (05:00): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:36, to sunset, 19:16, 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).
