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 holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 12:54.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 12:54 Sat to 14:38.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 3 Jan only, at 08:23: Sun 3 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 12:54 Sat, before it (06:47–08:23).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 4 Jan, 08:23–16:46

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 14:38 on Sun 3 Jan to 16:46 on Mon 4 Jan; harivasara ends at 21:10 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 4 Jan, 08:23. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:16.

Why Thu 23 Dec?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Thu 23 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:11 Wed to 21:42.

Ekadashi ended at 21:42 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 08:20: Thu 23 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:11 Wed, before it (06:44–08:20).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 24 Dec, 08:21–17:37 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:42 on Thu 23 Dec to 21:38 on Fri 24 Dec; harivasara ends at 03:41. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 24 Dec, 08:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:37: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:12.

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).
