Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 31 May in Olean?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 31 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:48 Wed to 21:02.
Ekadashi ended at 21:02 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 31 May only, at 05:40: Thu 31 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:48 Wed, before it (04:04–05:40).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 1 Jun, 05:40–17:52
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:02 on Thu 31 May to 17:52 on Fri 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 02:15. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 1 Jun, 05:40. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
