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 Sat 8 Jan?

Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Sat 8 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 19:00.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:00 Fri to 18:06.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 8 Jan only, at 08:23: Sat 8 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:00 Fri, before it (06:47–08:23).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 9 Jan, 08:23–16:26

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:06 on Sat 8 Jan to 16:26 on Sun 9 Jan; harivasara ends at 23:41 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 9 Jan, 08:23. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:16.

Why Wed 27 Dec?

Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Wed 27 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:26 Tue to 20:57.

Ekadashi ended at 20:57 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 27 Dec only, at 08:22: Wed 27 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:26 Tue, before it (06:46–08:22).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 28 Dec, 08:22–17:40 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:57 on Wed 27 Dec to 21:51 on Thu 28 Dec; harivasara ends at 03:11. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 28 Dec, 08:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:40: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:14.

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).
