Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Thu 17 Apr in Pāthardi?

Varuthini Ekadashi is on Thu 17 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:49 to 00:23 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 00:23; 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 17 Apr only, at 06:10: Thu 17 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:49, before it (04:34–06:10).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 18 Apr, 06:10–18:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:23 on Fri 18 Apr to 23:16 on Fri 18 Apr; harivasara ends at 06:06. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 18 Apr, 06:10. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:41.

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).
