- Looking from the practical Halacha, Avinu Malkenu is clearly linked to, if not an actual part of, Tachanun.
- On Taanis Esther, which *usually* takes place on the day before Purim, Avinu Malkenu is not said at Mincha, matching the skipping of Tachanun as on most afternoons prior to a no-Tachanun day. Interestingly, at least in my Shul, we don't say Avinu Malkenu on Taanis Esther at Mincha when Purim falls on Sunday and Taanis Esther is pushed back to Thursday.
