Why does Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fall on these dates?
A lunar date comes about 11 days earlier each year, until an extra lunar month (adhika) moves it later again. One falling early in January can move back into the December before, so a year can have two, and the next year none.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Jan, 04:11–04:46 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:40 on Thu 12 Jan, after arunodaya begins (04:05) and before sunrise (05:41). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 1 Jan 1912, 05:40–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:03 on Mon 1 Jan to 21:18 on Mon 1 Jan; harivasara ends at 05:22. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 1 Jan, 05:34. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:12.
The rule
Pausha Shukla Ekadashi
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).
