Pausha Putrada Ekadashi 2025 Date: The Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast is observed every year on the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) of the month of Pausha. However, this year, the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast is observed for two days, and Hari Vasar continues until after sunrise on the second day. This has confused people about whether to observe the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast on December 30th or 31st. When should householders observe the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast, and when should Vaishnavs observe the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast? Let's learn the correct date, auspicious time, and breaking the fast time.

The correct date of the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi fast: According to the calendar, when the Ekadashi Tithi extends until after sunrise on both days, or Hari Vasar continues until after sunrise on the second day, the Ekadashi fast becomes a two-day fast. This is why people are confused about when to observe the fast.

According to the calendar, the date of Paush Shukla Ekadashi is from 7:50 AM on December 30th to 5:00 AM on December 31st. The rising date of Ekadashi is on December 30th, but Hari Vasara ends at 10:12 AM on December 31st. Therefore, householders will observe the Paush Putrada Ekadashi fast on December 30th, and Vaishnavs will observe the Paush Putrada Ekadashi fast on December 31st.
