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 Thu 4 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 4 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 10:41.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 10:41 Wed to 07:54.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 4 Jan only, at 06:42: Thu 4 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 10:41 Wed, before it (05:06–06:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 5 Jan, 06:43–19:52 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:41 on Fri 5 Jan, in the night, before arunodaya (05:07): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:43, to sunset, 19:52, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
Why Mon 24 Dec?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Mon 24 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:11 to 22:29.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 24 Dec only, at 06:36: Mon 24 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:11, before it (05:00–06:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 25 Dec, 06:36–19:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:29 on Mon 24 Dec to 20:02 on Tue 25 Dec; harivasara ends at 03:52. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 25 Dec, 06:36. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:15.
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).
