Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Thu 15 May in Sevan?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Thu 15 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:38 Wed to 22:57.
Ekadashi ended at 22:57 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 15 May only, at 06:43: Thu 15 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:38 Wed, before it (05:07–06:43).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 16 May, 06:42–21:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:57 on Thu 15 May to 00:39 on Sat 17 May; harivasara ends at 05:22. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 16 May, 06:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:36.
