Why does Saphala 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 1 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Sat 1 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:24 Fri to 15:47.

Ekadashi ended at 15:47 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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 Sat 1 Jan only, at 05:40: Sat 1 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:24 Fri, before it (04:04–05:40).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 2 Jan, 05:41–12:39

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:47 on Sat 1 Jan to 12:39 on Sun 2 Jan; harivasara ends at 21:00 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 2 Jan, 05:41. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:19.

Why Wed 20 Dec and Thu 21 Dec?

Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Wed 20 Dec: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 21 Dec.

Dashami until 04:27, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:27 to 03:33 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 03:33; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:27 Wed to 03:33.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 20 Dec only, at 05:34: Wed 20 Dec.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 20 Dec Dashami lasts until 04:27, inside arunodaya (03:58–05:34), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:33, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 21 Dec: Thu 21 Dec.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 21 Dec, 09:08–18:46 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:33 on Thu 21 Dec to 01:53 on Fri 22 Dec; harivasara ends at 09:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:46: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:13, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 22 Dec, 05:35–18:47 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:53 on Fri 22 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (03:59): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:35, to sunset, 18:47, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha 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).
