Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Wed 28 Apr in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Wed 28 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:04 to 03:46 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:46; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:04 Wed to 03:46.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 28 Apr only, at 06:03: Wed 28 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:04, before it (04:27–06:03).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 29 Apr, 09:49–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:46 on Thu 29 Apr to 03:57 on Fri 30 Apr; harivasara ends at 09:49. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
