Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 20 Apr in Diffa?
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 11:44.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 11:44 Wed to 14:17.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 21 Apr, 05:53–16:34
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:17 on Thu 20 Apr to 16:34 on Fri 21 Apr; harivasara ends at 20:51 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 21 Apr, 05:53. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:23.
