Sometimes, due to the manner in which the ekadashi tithi and the dvadashi tithis are positioned in relation to the sunrise the vrata is observed on the dvadashi and the fast is broken the next day, the trayodashi. Such a fast day is called a mahadvadashi, to distinguish it from a regular dvadashi, which is the day to break the ekadashi fast.
If a new or full moon day is vrddhi, crossing two consecutive sunrises, the preceding dvadasi is called paksavardini-mahadvadasi. One should observe the ekadasi vrata on that day.
