Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Wed 22 May or Thu 23 May in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Wed 22 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 23 May.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:08. Ekadashi: 07:08 to 04:18 Thu.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:18; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:08 Wed to 04:18.
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 begins at 07:08 on Wed 22 May, after that sunrise (05:52), and ends at 04:18 on Thu 23 May, before the next (05:52 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 22 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 22 May arunodaya (04:16–05:52) is Dashami. On Thu 23 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:18, then Dwadashi): Thu 23 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 23 May, 09:34–18:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:18 on Thu 23 May to 01:23 on Fri 24 May; harivasara ends at 09:34. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 24 May, 05:51–19:00 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:23 on Fri 24 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:15): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:51, to sunset, 19:00, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
