Why is Kamika Ekadashi on Tue 7 Aug or Wed 8 Aug in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Kamika Ekadashi is on Tue 7 Aug: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 8 Aug.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:22. Ekadashi: 06:22 to 03:45 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 03:45; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:22 Tue to 03:45.

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 begins at 06:22 on Tue 7 Aug, after that sunrise (06:02), and ends at 03:45 on Wed 8 Aug, before the next (06:03 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 7 Aug.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 7 Aug arunodaya (04:26–06:02) is Dashami. On Wed 8 Aug it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:45, then Dwadashi): Wed 8 Aug.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 8 Aug, 08:59–20:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:45 on Wed 8 Aug to 00:40 on Thu 9 Aug; harivasara ends at 08:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:52, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 9 Aug, 06:04–20:05 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 00:40 on Thu 9 Aug, in the night, before arunodaya (04:28): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:04, to sunset, 20:05, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Ashadha 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).
