Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 6 Jun in Thazhecode?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 6 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:16 to 04:48 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:48; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:16 Fri to 04:48.
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 Fri 6 Jun only, at 06:01: Fri 6 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:16, before it (04:25–06:01).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 7 Jun, 11:26–18:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:48 on Sat 7 Jun to 07:18 on Sun 8 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:26. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

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