Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 6 Jun in Temascal?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 6 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 14:46.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 14:46 Thu to 17:18.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 7 Jun, 05:48–19:00 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:18 on Fri 6 Jun to 19:48 on Sat 7 Jun; harivasara ends at 23:56 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 7 Jun, 05:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:00: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:27.
