Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 28 Apr in Pāthardi?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Thu 28 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:54 to 03:19 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 03:19; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:54 Thu to 03:19.

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

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 28 Apr only, at 06:03: Thu 28 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:54, before it (04:27–06:03).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 29 Apr, 09:57–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:19 on Fri 29 Apr to 05:48 on Sat 30 Apr; harivasara ends at 09:57. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
