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 Wed 4 Jan?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Wed 4 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:14.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 08:14 Tue to 06:55.

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 Wed 4 Jan only, at 05:43: Wed 4 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 08:14 Tue, before it (04:07–05:43).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Jan, 05:44–05:54

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:55 on Wed 4 Jan to 05:54 on Thu 5 Jan; harivasara ends at 12:40 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 5 Jan, 05:44.

Why Sun 24 Dec?

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 Sun 24 Dec only, at 05:36: Sun 24 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:33, before it (04:00–05:36).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 25 Dec, 06:06–18:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:49 on Mon 25 Dec to 21:57 on Mon 25 Dec; harivasara ends at 06:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:15.

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).
