If you have observed a complete fast (meaning, you have not even taken water on Ekadasi day) you do not need to break the fast the following day with grains. You can break it with caranamrita (Krsna's foot bathing water) or fruit at the times mentioned herein.But if on Ekadasi you took fruit, vegetables, etc. then you should break it with grains next morning at the proper times listed for paran.



Since Shiva consumed Aalakala visham on the following day at twilight this event is called Pradosham or Trayodasi .

Trayodasi is Day After Dwadasi or Day After Tomorrow of Ekadasi

"Observe vrat(vow of worship) of Shiva always on Trayodashi" The Original Guru of Vaishnavas
