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.
Why Mon 12 Jan?
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Mon 12 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:13 to 04:25 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:25; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:13 Mon to 04:25.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 12 Jan only, at 05:47: Mon 12 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:13, before it (04:11–05:47).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 13 Jan, 10:31–18:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:25 on Tue 13 Jan to 04:50 on Wed 14 Jan; harivasara ends at 10:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:25, which here ends before harivasara does.
Why Fri 31 Dec?
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Fri 31 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:09 Thu to 01:52 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 01:52; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
