Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 4 Jun in Diffa?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 4 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:33 to 05:13 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:13; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:33 Sun to 05:13.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 4 Jun only, at 05:41: Sun 4 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:33, before it (04:05–05:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 5 Jun, 11:43–18:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:13 on Mon 5 Jun to 07:13 on Tue 6 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:43. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:16, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
