Pausha Putrada Ekadashi (पौष पुत्रदा एकादशी) is a vrat, a fasting observance falling in the Hindu lunar month of पौष. Its position is fixed by tithi rather than by the Gregorian calendar, so the date moves every year and is computed from the panchang. Tradition keeps a fast on the day.
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi
पौष पुत्रदा एकादशी
Hindu month: पौष
Panchang Basis (Tithi Rule)
Each year this observance falls on the Ekadashi tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Hindu month of Pausha. Because lunar tithis drift against the Gregorian calendar, the English date shifts every year — the tithi rule above is what stays fixed.
