Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Sun 3 May or Mon 4 May in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Sun 3 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 4 May.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:39. Ekadashi: 07:39 to 04:43 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:43; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:39 Sun to 04:43.
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 begins at 07:39 on Sun 3 May, after that sunrise (05:56), and ends at 04:43 on Mon 4 May, before the next (05:55 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 3 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 3 May arunodaya (04:20–05:56) is Dashami. On Mon 4 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:43, then Dwadashi): Mon 4 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 4 May, 09:53–19:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:43 on Mon 4 May to 01:24 on Tue 5 May; harivasara ends at 09:53. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 5 May, 05:53–20:00 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:24 on Tue 5 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:17): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:53, to sunset, 20:00, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
