Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Mon 15 Apr in Sevan?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Mon 15 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:13 Sun to 00:50 Tue.

Ekadashi ended at 00:50; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 15 Apr only, at 07:22: Mon 15 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:13 Sun, before it (05:46–07:22).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 16 Apr, 07:20–20:39 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:50 on Tue 16 Apr to 02:52 on Wed 17 Apr; harivasara ends at 07:20. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:39: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:00.

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).
