Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 12 Apr in Sevan?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Thu 12 Apr: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.

Dashami until 05:10, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:10 to 06:43 Thu.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:10 Wed to 06:43.

Dwadashi: 06:43 Thu to 07:34, longer than its day: it grows too.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 06:28 on Wed 11 Apr and 06:26 on Thu 12 Apr. Ekadashi (05:10 Wed 11 Apr to 06:43 Thu 12 Apr) and Dwadashi (06:43 Thu 12 Apr to 07:34 Fri 13 Apr) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Thu 12 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Wed 11 Apr Dashami lasts until 05:10, inside it (04:52–06:28); on Thu 12 Apr Ekadashi holds all of it.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 13 Apr, 06:25–07:34

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:43 on Thu 12 Apr to 07:34 on Fri 13 Apr; harivasara ends at 12:55 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 13 Apr, 06:25.

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).
