Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 16 May in Pāthardi?

Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 16 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:29 Tue to 19:21.

Ekadashi ended at 19:21 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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 16 May only, at 05:54: Wed 16 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:29 Tue, before it (04:18–05:54).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 May, 05:53–18:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:21 on Wed 16 May to 21:36 on Thu 17 May; harivasara ends at 01:55. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 17 May, 05:53. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.

The rule

Jyeshtha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Vaishakha 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).
