Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 1 May or Fri 2 May in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Thu 1 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 2 May.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:07. Ekadashi: 07:07 to 05:37 Fri.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:37; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:07 Thu to 05:37.

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 07:07 on Thu 1 May, after that sunrise (06:58), and ends at 05:37 on Fri 2 May, before the next (06:57 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 1 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 1 May arunodaya (05:22–06:58) is Dashami. On Fri 2 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:37, then Dwadashi): Fri 2 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 2 May, 11:03–20:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:37 on Fri 2 May to 03:21 on Sat 3 May; harivasara ends at 11:03. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:56: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:45, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sat 3 May, 06:56–20:57 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 03:21 on Sat 3 May, in the night, before arunodaya (05:20): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:56, to sunset, 20:57, 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).
