Questions

Rules from the Nirṇaya-sindhu, with the page for each.

In Delhi, on Tuesday, 19 January 2027. The Ekadashi tithi runs from Mon 18 Jan, 10:27 to Tue 19 Jan, 07:50, IST.

What is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi also called?

The Ekādaśī-māhātmya (Banaras, 1934) names it Putradā. Ekādaśī-māhātmya (1934), f. 24b

Which month is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi in?

It is the Shukla Ekadashi of Pausha, the same in both month systems.

When do I break the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast?

In Delhi, Wed 20 Jan, 07:15 – 09:21: no Dvādaśī is left at sunrise, so on Trayodaśī, in the first three muhūrtas. Dharmasindhu p. 19

Why are there two dates for some Ekadashis?

The texts test the Ekadashi day for Dashami, the tithi before it. Smārtas test at sunrise; Vaiṣṇavas test the 96 minutes before sunrise, called aruṇodaya. When Ekadashi or Dvadashi runs long, or Ekadashi touches no sunrise, each tradition keeps its own day. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 53⁠–⁠63

Is Vaikuntha Ekadashi the same day?

Not in 2027. Vaikuntha Ekadashi, as it is popularly called in the south, is the Ekādaśī that falls while the Sun is in Dhanus, so the name moves from year to year. In Delhi: Sunday, 20 December 2026, Mokṣā; Saturday, 8 January 2028, Putradā; Wednesday, 27 December 2028, Putradā. The texts cited here name each day by its own Ekādaśī.

How the days are found

Read the methodology
Sunrise
At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every date is that city’s own.
The Dashami tests
Smārta: Dashami at sunrise. Vaiṣṇava (Nirṇaya-sindhu): Dashami at any moment in the 96 minutes before sunrise.
Running long
A tithi runs long when it is still current at the sunrise after its own day: Ekādaśī at the second day's sunrise, Dvādaśī at the third's, counting from the first Ekādaśī day (our reading of Nirnaya-sindhu pp. 59-62).
Pāraṇa
The first three muhūrtas after sunrise, once Hari-vāsara (Dvādaśī’s first quarter) is over and before Dvādaśī ends; else the afternoon, never midday; on Trayodaśī if no Dvādaśī is left. Dharmasindhu p. 19; Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 70⁠–⁠71.
