Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Wed 8 May in Sevan?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Wed 8 May: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.

Dashami until 05:37, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:37 to 08:04 Wed.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:37 Tue to 08:04.

Dwadashi: 08:04 Wed to 10:25, longer than its day: it grows too.

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 both sunrises, 06:52 on Tue 7 May and 06:51 on Wed 8 May. Ekadashi (05:37 Tue 7 May to 08:04 Wed 8 May) and Dwadashi (08:04 Wed 8 May to 10:25 Thu 9 May) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 8 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 7 May Dashami lasts until 05:37, inside it (05:16–06:52); on Wed 8 May Ekadashi holds all of it.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 9 May, 06:50–10:25

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 08:04 on Wed 8 May to 10:25 on Thu 9 May; harivasara ends at 14:39 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 9 May, 06:50.

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).
