Why is Vijaya Ekadashi on Sun 20 Feb in Pāthardi?

Vijaya Ekadashi is on Sun 20 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:48 to 05:46 Mon.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:46; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:48 Sun to 05:46.

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 Sun 20 Feb only, at 06:55: Sun 20 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:48, before it (05:19–06:55).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 21 Feb, 12:22–18:31 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:46 on Mon 21 Feb to 08:08 on Tue 22 Feb; harivasara ends at 12:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:31: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:13, which here ends before harivasara does.

The rule

Phalguna Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Magha 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).
