Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 30 Apr in Pāthardi?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Thu 30 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:51 to 23:42.

Ekadashi ended at 23:42 Thu; 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 Thu 30 Apr only, at 06:01: Thu 30 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:51, before it (04:25–06:01).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 1 May, 06:01–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:42 on Thu 30 Apr to 20:52 on Fri 1 May; harivasara ends at 04:59. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 1 May, 06:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.

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).
