Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 20 Apr in Pāthardi?

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

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:14 Wed to 18:47.

Ekadashi ended at 18:47 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). 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 06:08: Thu 20 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:14 Wed, before it (04:32–06:08).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 21 Apr, 06:07–18:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:47 on Thu 20 Apr to 21:04 on Fri 21 Apr; harivasara ends at 01:21. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 21 Apr, 06:07. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39.

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).
