Grahana Fast two days -- not 12 hours if sun or moon set occurs during grahana

 Nirnya Sindhu further explains, ‘If the sun sets whilst the solar eclipse is still in progress then one should fast the whole of that day and the rest of the night.  Similarly if the Moon disappears (day breaks) whilst the eclipse is still in progress, then one should not eat that night nor the rest of the following day.’

when not to do ekadasi fast - overlaping with dasami

 Oh brahmana, ninety-six minutes before sunrise, if there is an Ekadasi available, it is called a complete and pure Ekadasi. On this Ekadasi, even every householder should fast.  Even if Ekadasi is available forty-eight minutes before sunrise, still it is said to be mixed with the previous day. People who are interested to increase their merits should give up fasting on such Ekadasis.  If Dasami day passes over midnight, then one should give up fasting on that Ekadasi, but fast on Dvadasi day.  Therefore one should give up Ekadasi which is combined with Dasami, even if it is available before sunrise. Specifically, Vaisnavas should always reject Ekadasis which overlap Dasamis.  One should never fast on the days when Ekadasi is overlapped with Dasami. If one does so, looses whatever merit he had accumulated for one hundred years. Any person who fasts on the liberating day of Mine, but which is mixed with Dasami, their collective merit for the past 100 cycles (one ...
