Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Mon 12 May in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Mon 12 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:43 to 23:07.
Ekadashi ended at 23:07 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Mon 12 May only, at 05:55: Mon 12 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:43, before it (04:19–05:55).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 13 May, 05:55–18:55 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:07 on Mon 12 May to 20:00 on Tue 13 May; harivasara ends at 04:20. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 13 May, 05:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:55: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
Vaishakha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
