Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 11 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 11 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:09 to 03:41 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:41; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:09 Wed to 03:41.
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 Wed 11 Jun only, at 05:50: Wed 11 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:09, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Jun, 10:19–19:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:41 on Thu 12 Jun to 06:15 on Fri 13 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:19. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

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