Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Mon 15 Dec in Sevan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Mon 15 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 17:20.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:20 Sun to 19:50.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 16 Dec, 08:16–17:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:50 on Mon 15 Dec to 22:27 on Tue 16 Dec; harivasara ends at 02:29. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 16 Dec, 08:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:08.
