Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Sun 22 Apr or Mon 23 Apr in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Sun 22 Apr: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 23 Apr.

Dashami until 04:53, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:53 to 02:25 Mon.

Ekadashi ended at 02:25; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:53 Sun to 02:25.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 22 Apr only, at 06:12: Sun 22 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 22 Apr Dashami lasts until 04:53, inside arunodaya (04:36–06:12), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:25, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 23 Apr: Mon 23 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Mon 23 Apr, 07:48–19:46 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:25 on Mon 23 Apr to 23:56 on Mon 23 Apr; harivasara ends at 07:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:46: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:54.

Vaishnava · Tue 24 Apr, 06:09–19:47 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:56 Mon on Tue 24 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:33): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:09, to sunset, 19:47, 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).
