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 Fri 10 Jan?

Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Fri 10 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 12:23.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 12:23 Thu to 10:20.

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 Fri 10 Jan only, at 07:05: Fri 10 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 12:23 Thu, before it (05:29–07:05).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 11 Jan, 07:05–08:22

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 10:20 on Fri 10 Jan to 08:22 on Sat 11 Jan; harivasara ends at 15:50 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 11 Jan, 07:05.

Why Tue 30 Dec and Wed 31 Dec?

Smarta · For Smartas, Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Tue 30 Dec: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 31 Dec.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:51. Ekadashi: 07:51 to 05:01 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 05:01; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:51 Tue to 05:01.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:51 on Tue 30 Dec, after that sunrise (07:02), and ends at 05:01 on Wed 31 Dec, before the next (07:02 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 30 Dec.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 30 Dec arunodaya (05:26–07:02) is Dashami. On Wed 31 Dec it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:01, then Dwadashi): Wed 31 Dec.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 31 Dec, 10:12–18:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:01 on Wed 31 Dec to 01:48 on Thu 1 Jan; harivasara ends at 10:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:14, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 1 Jan 2026, 07:02–18:02 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:48 on Thu 1 Jan, in the night, before arunodaya (05:26): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:02, to sunset, 18:02, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
