Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Wed 2 May in Sevan?
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: 23:33 Tue to 21:17.
Ekadashi ended at 21:17 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 05:57: Wed 2 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:33 Tue, before it (04:21–05:57).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 3 May, 05:56–18:24
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:17 on Wed 2 May to 18:24 on Thu 3 May; harivasara ends at 02:34. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 3 May, 05:56. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.
