Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Sat 22 May or Sun 23 May in Diffa?

Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Sat 22 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 23 May.

Dashami until 04:46, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:46 to 02:13 Sun.

Ekadashi ended at 02:13; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:46 Sat to 02:13.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 22 May only, at 05:42: Sat 22 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 22 May Dashami lasts until 04:46, inside arunodaya (04:06–05:42), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:13, so Vaishnavas fast on Sun 23 May: Sun 23 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sun 23 May, 07:27–18:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:13 on Sun 23 May to 23:09 on Sun 23 May; harivasara ends at 07:27. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:30: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:15.

Vaishnava · Mon 24 May, 05:42–18:30 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:09 Sun on Mon 24 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:06): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:42, to sunset, 18:30, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Vaishakha Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
