Rule used: householder (Smarta) tradition — the fasting day has Ekadashi at local sunrise; when Ekadashi touches two sunrises the second day is taken, and when Dwadashi ends before the next sunrise the fast moves a day earlier. Parana is after sunrise and after Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi), in the morning when possible, otherwise in the afternoon. ISKCON/Vaishnava dates can differ — notes show where.
