Why is Amalaki Ekadashi on Wed 20 Mar in Pāthardi?
Amalaki Ekadashi is on Wed 20 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:22 to 02:23 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:23; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:22 Wed to 02:23.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 20 Mar only, at 06:33: Wed 20 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:22, before it (04:57–06:33).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 21 Mar, 08:58–18:40 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:23 on Thu 21 Mar to 04:44 on Fri 22 Mar; harivasara ends at 08:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:40: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:57, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
