Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Thu 1 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Thu 1 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:19 Wed to 21:43.
Ekadashi ended at 21:43 Thu; 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 Thu 1 Apr only, at 06:23: Thu 1 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:19 Wed, before it (04:47–06:23).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 2 Apr, 06:22–18:43 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:43 on Thu 1 Apr to 21:22 on Fri 2 Apr; harivasara ends at 03:38. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 2 Apr, 06:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:43: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:50.
The rule

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