Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Mon 13 Apr in Diffa?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Mon 13 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:47 Sun to 20:39.

Ekadashi ended at 20:39 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 13 Apr only, at 05:58: Mon 13 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:47 Sun, before it (04:22–05:58).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 14 Apr, 05:57–18:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:39 on Mon 13 Apr to 19:42 on Tue 14 Apr; harivasara ends at 02:25. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 14 Apr, 05:57. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:26.

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).
