Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 20 Apr in Chahārbāgh?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Thu 20 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 14:14.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 14:14 Wed to 16:47.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 20 Apr only, at 05:27: Thu 20 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 14:14 Wed, before it (03:51–05:27).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 21 Apr, 05:25–18:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:47 on Thu 20 Apr to 19:04 on Fri 21 Apr; harivasara ends at 23:21 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 21 Apr, 05:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:05.

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).
