Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Tue 3 May in Pāthardi?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Tue 3 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:47 to 04:02 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 04:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:47 Tue to 04:02.

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 Tue 3 May only, at 06:00: Tue 3 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:47, before it (04:24–06:00).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 4 May, 10:11–18:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:02 on Wed 4 May to 04:38 on Thu 5 May; harivasara ends at 10:11. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
