Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Tue 17 May in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Tue 17 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 14:50.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 14:50 Mon to 17:17.
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 Tue 17 May only, at 05:53: Tue 17 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 14:50 Mon, before it (04:17–05:53).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 18 May, 05:53–18:58 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:17 on Tue 17 May to 19:52 on Wed 18 May; harivasara ends at 23:56 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 18 May, 05:53. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:58: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
The rule
