Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Mon 27 Apr in Thazhecode?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Mon 27 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:07 Sun to 18:16.
Ekadashi ended at 18:16 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 27 Apr only, at 06:08: Mon 27 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:07 Sun, before it (04:32–06:08).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 28 Apr, 06:08–18:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:16 on Mon 27 Apr to 18:52 on Tue 28 Apr; harivasara ends at 00:25. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 28 Apr, 06:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38.
The rule
Vaishakha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
