Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Thu 14 May in Sevan?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Thu 14 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:52 Wed to 19:46.
Ekadashi ended at 19:46 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 14 May only, at 06:44: Thu 14 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:52 Wed, before it (05:08–06:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 15 May, 06:43–21:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:46 on Thu 14 May to 21:56 on Fri 15 May; harivasara ends at 02:18. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 15 May, 06:43. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:36.
