Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 17 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 17 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:13 Fri to 20:08.
Ekadashi ended at 20:08 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sat 17 Jun only, at 05:51: Sat 17 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:13 Fri, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 18 Jun, 05:51–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:08 on Sat 17 Jun to 21:27 on Sun 18 Jun; harivasara ends at 02:27. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 18 Jun, 05:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
