Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 28 Aug in Diffa?

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 10:55.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 10:55 Fri to 08:12.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 29 Aug, 04:22–05:06 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 05:06 on Sun 29 Aug, after arunodaya begins (04:22) and before sunrise (05:58). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
