Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Wed 22 Apr or Thu 23 Apr in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Wed 22 Apr: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 23 Apr.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:12. Ekadashi: 09:12 to 06:38 Thu.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:38; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 09:12 Wed to 06:38.

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

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 09:12 on Wed 22 Apr, after that sunrise (07:11), and ends at 06:38 on Thu 23 Apr, before the next (07:10 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 22 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 22 Apr arunodaya (05:35–07:11) is Dashami. On Thu 23 Apr it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:38, then Dwadashi): Thu 23 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 23 Apr, 11:52–20:46 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:38 on Thu 23 Apr to 03:34 on Fri 24 Apr; harivasara ends at 11:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:46: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:53, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 24 Apr, 07:09–20:48 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 03:34 on Fri 24 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (05:33): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:09, to sunset, 20:48, 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).
