Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Sun 20 Dec in Pāthardi?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Sun 20 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:09 Sat to 20:15.
Ekadashi ended at 20:15 Sun; 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 Sun 20 Dec only, at 06:57: Sun 20 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:09 Sat, before it (05:21–06:57).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 21 Dec, 06:57–17:36
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:15 on Sun 20 Dec to 17:36 on Mon 21 Dec; harivasara ends at 01:35. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 21 Dec, 06:57. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:09.
The rule
Margashirsha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
