Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Sat 22 May or Sun 23 May in Chahārbāgh?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Sat 22 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 23 May.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:16.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:43; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:16 Sat to 05:43.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:16 on Sat 22 May, after that sunrise (05:56), and ends at 05:43 on Sun 23 May, before the next (05:56 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 22 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 22 May arunodaya (04:20–05:56) is Dashami. On Sun 23 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:43, then Dwadashi): Sun 23 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 23 May, 10:57–20:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:43 on Sun 23 May to 02:39 on Mon 24 May; harivasara ends at 10:57. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:11: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:47, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 24 May, 05:55–20:12 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:39 on Mon 24 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:19): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:55, to sunset, 20:12, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
