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.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:13 Mon to 20:56.
Ekadashi ended at 20:56 Tue; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 07:42: Tue 4 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:13 Mon, before it (06:06–07:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 5 Jan, 07:42–16:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:56 on Tue 4 Jan to 23:02 on Wed 5 Jan; harivasara ends at 03:27. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 5 Jan, 07:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:23.
Why Sat 24 Dec?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Sat 24 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:52 to 05:18 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 05:18; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:52 Sat to 05:18.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 24 Dec only, at 07:41: Sat 24 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 05:52, before it (06:05–07:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 25 Dec, 11:14–15:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:18 on Sun 25 Dec to 05:05 on Mon 26 Dec; harivasara ends at 11:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 15:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:20, which here ends before harivasara does.
