Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Tue 30 Apr in Sevan?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Tue 30 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:34 Mon to 22:47.

Ekadashi ended at 22:47 Tue; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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 sunrise on Tue 30 Apr only, at 06:01: Tue 30 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:34 Mon, before it (04:25–06:01).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 1 May, 05:59–19:55 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:47 on Tue 30 Apr to 00:35 on Thu 2 May; harivasara ends at 05:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 1 May, 05:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:55: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46.

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).
