Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 26 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 26 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:11 to 03:32 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 03:32; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:11 Sun to 03:32.
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 26 May only, at 05:51: Sun 26 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:11, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 27 May, 09:29–19:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:32 on Mon 27 May to 03:18 on Tue 28 May; harivasara ends at 09:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:01: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

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