Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Mon 1 May in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Mon 1 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:29 Sun to 22:10.
Ekadashi ended at 22:10 Mon; 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 Mon 1 May only, at 06:01: Mon 1 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:29 Sun, before it (04:25–06:01).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 2 May, 06:00–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:10 on Mon 1 May to 23:18 on Tue 2 May; harivasara ends at 04:27. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 2 May, 06:00. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
The rule
Vaishakha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
