Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Sat 6 May in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Sat 6 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:44 Fri to 20:30.
Ekadashi ended at 20:30 Sat; 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 Sat 6 May only, at 05:58: Sat 6 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:44 Fri, before it (04:22–05:58).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 7 May, 05:57–18:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:30 on Sat 6 May to 21:42 on Sun 7 May; harivasara ends at 02:48. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 7 May, 05:57. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:33.
The rule
Vaishakha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
