Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Sat 6 May in Sevan?
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: 18:14 Fri to 19:00.
Ekadashi ended at 19:00 Sat; 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 Sat 6 May only, at 05:53: Sat 6 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:14 Fri, before it (04:17–05:53).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 7 May, 05:51–20:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:00 on Sat 6 May to 20:12 on Sun 7 May; harivasara ends at 01:18. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 7 May, 05:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:01: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:41.
