Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Fri 7 May in Diffa?
Varuthini Ekadashi is on Fri 7 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:41.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 09:41 Thu to 11:02.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 7 May only, at 05:46: Fri 7 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:41 Thu, before it (04:10–05:46).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 8 May, 05:45–12:51
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 11:02 on Fri 7 May to 12:51 on Sat 8 May; harivasara ends at 17:29 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 8 May, 05:45. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:17.
