Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 15 Jul only, at 05:42: Fri 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:44 Thu, before it (04:06–05:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 16 Jul, 06:59–20:28 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:38 on Sat 16 Jul to 02:02 on Sun 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 06:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:28: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
