Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Sun 4 May in Sevan?
Varuthini Ekadashi is on Sun 4 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:21 Sat to 20:01.
Ekadashi ended at 20:01 Sun; 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 Sun 4 May only, at 06:56: Sun 4 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:21 Sat, before it (05:20–06:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 5 May, 06:54–20:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:01 on Sun 4 May to 21:13 on Mon 5 May; harivasara ends at 02:19. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 5 May, 06:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:43.
