Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 16 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 16 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:19 to 04:13 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 04:13; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:19 Mon to 04:13.
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 Mon 16 Jun only, at 05:51: Mon 16 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:19, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 17 Jun, 10:15–19:08 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:13 on Tue 17 Jun to 04:22 on Wed 18 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:08: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

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