Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Mon 15 Dec in Pāthardi?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Mon 15 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:50 Sun to 21:20.

Ekadashi ended at 21:20 Mon; 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 Mon 15 Dec only, at 06:54: Mon 15 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:50 Sun, before it (05:18–06:54).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 16 Dec, 06:55–17:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:20 on Mon 15 Dec to 23:57 on Tue 16 Dec; harivasara ends at 03:59. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 16 Dec, 06:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:07.

The rule

Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

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

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
