Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Mon 1 May in Sevan?
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: 18:59 Sun to 20:40.
Ekadashi ended at 20:40 Mon; 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 Mon 1 May only, at 05:59: Mon 1 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:59 Sun, before it (04:23–05:59).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 2 May, 05:58–19:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:40 on Mon 1 May to 21:48 on Tue 2 May; harivasara ends at 02:57. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 2 May, 05:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:56: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46.
The rule
