Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Sun 26 Apr or Mon 27 Apr in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Sun 26 Apr: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 27 Apr.

Dashami until 04:29, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:29 to 02:10 Mon.

Ekadashi ended at 02:10; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:29 Sun to 02:10.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 26 Apr only, at 05:04: Sun 26 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 26 Apr Dashami lasts until 04:29, inside arunodaya (03:28–05:04), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:10, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 27 Apr: Mon 27 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Mon 27 Apr, 07:38–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:10 on Mon 27 Apr to 23:53 on Mon 27 Apr; harivasara ends at 07:36. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:48.

Vaishnava · Tue 28 Apr, 05:03–18:51 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:53 Mon on Tue 28 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (03:25): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:01, to sunset, 18:49, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Vaishakha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Chaitra Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

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).
