Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Wed 2 May in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Wed 2 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:03 to 22:47.
Ekadashi ended at 22:47 Wed; 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 Wed 2 May only, at 06:00: Wed 2 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:03, before it (04:24–06:00).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 3 May, 05:59–18:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:47 on Wed 2 May to 19:54 on Thu 3 May; harivasara ends at 04:04. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 3 May, 05:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
