Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Sun 16 Dec in Pāthardi?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Sun 16 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 16:40.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:40 Sat to 19:18.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 17 Dec, 06:55–17:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:18 on Sun 16 Dec to 21:55 on Mon 17 Dec; harivasara ends at 01:57. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 17 Dec, 06:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:07.
The rule
