Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Thu 19 May or Fri 20 May in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Thu 19 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 20 May.
Dashami until 05:59, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:59 to 06:29 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:29; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:59 Thu to 06:29.
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 19 May only, at 06:40: Thu 19 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 19 May Dashami lasts until 05:59, inside arunodaya (05:04–06:40), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 06:29, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 20 May: Fri 20 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 20 May, 12:25–21:14 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:29 on Fri 20 May to 06:13 on Sat 21 May; harivasara ends at 12:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:14: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:34, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 21 May, 05:02–06:13 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 06:13 on Sat 21 May, after arunodaya begins (05:02) and before sunrise (06:38). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
