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 Tue 4 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 4 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 15:13.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 15:13 Mon to 16:56.
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 Tue 4 Jan only, at 05:43: Tue 4 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:13 Mon, before it (04:07–05:43).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 5 Jan, 05:43–18:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:56 on Tue 4 Jan to 19:02 on Wed 5 Jan; harivasara ends at 23:27 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 5 Jan, 05:43. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:21.
