How this site calculates it

Observed on the day on which Ekadashi prevails at sunrise; the calculation profile chooses the Smarta or Vaishnava rule, and the Parana (fast-breaking) window is calculated for the next day. Names follow the Purnimanta month in which each Ekadashi is traditionally cited.
