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 Sun 3 Jan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Sun 3 Jan: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:54, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:54 to 07:38 Sun.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:54 Sat to 07:38.
Dwadashi: 07:38 Sun to 09:46, longer than its day: it grows too.
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 both sunrises, 06:00 on Sat 2 Jan and 06:00 on Sun 3 Jan. Ekadashi (05:54 Sat 2 Jan to 07:38 Sun 3 Jan) and Dwadashi (07:38 Sun 3 Jan to 09:46 Mon 4 Jan) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sun 3 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Sat 2 Jan Dashami lasts until 05:54, inside it (04:24–06:00); on Sun 3 Jan Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 4 Jan, 06:01–09:46
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:38 on Sun 3 Jan to 09:46 on Mon 4 Jan; harivasara ends at 14:10 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 4 Jan, 06:01.
Why Thu 23 Dec?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 23 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 15:11.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 15:11 Wed to 14:42.
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 Thu 23 Dec only, at 05:55: Thu 23 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:11 Wed, before it (04:19–05:55).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 24 Dec, 05:55–14:38
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:42 on Thu 23 Dec to 14:38 on Fri 24 Dec; harivasara ends at 20:41 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 24 Dec, 05:55. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:25.
The rule
Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

- 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).
