Falling on a Tuesday gives the day a Mangal emphasis — courage-related rites and red offerings carry extra weight.
Looking ahead to 2028, Putrada Ekadashi (Pausha) will fall on Saturday, 2028-01-08 (11 days earlier than this year). So planning ritual schedules across years means anchoring to the tithi rather than the Gregorian date.

On Tuesday, January 19, 2027, sunrise in Delhi (the reference city for this page) falls at 07:14 IST and sunset at 17:49 IST — a daylight span of 10h 35m.

For Putrada Ekadashi (Pausha) 2027, the central rite of udaya tithi (sunrise) depends on the festival tithi being present during that window on 2027-01-19 — confirmed across 6 reference cities in this year's computation pass. Cities further east (Kolkata, Chennai) see the window open ~15-25 minutes before Delhi; cities west of Delhi (Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore) see it start later by a similar margin.

King Suketumana of Bhadravati was a righteous ruler but had no heir, which caused him deep anguish. Despairing, he wandered into a forest where he encountered sages performing tapas. They taught him the vrata of Pausha Shukla Ekadashi. The king observed it with full devotion and his queen soon gave birth to a virtuous son who became a renowned ruler. The Padma Purana preserves this account along with the Pausha-mahatmya.
How to Observe
Observe the Ekadashi fast, especially recommended for couples seeking children. Worship Lord Vishnu with tulsi, recite the Vishnu Sahasranama and the Bhagavata Purana's ninth skandha (genealogy chapter). Donate to brahmins, especially items associated with childbirth — clothing for infants, milk, grain. Childless couples traditionally observe this vrata together.
Significance
The dedicated ekadashi for progeny — putra-da literally "son-giver" (sons and daughters are equivalent in tradition; the name reflects classical Sanskrit usage). Two Putrada Ekadashis exist in the Hindu year — Pausha Shukla and Shravana Shukla — both grant progeny but the Pausha observance is considered especially powerful in northern traditions. Combines the spiritual merit of all Vishnu-vratas with the worldly aspiration for family.
Fasting
Ekadashi fast – no grains or beans. Break fast on Dwadashi morning. Couples observing together is the traditional form.
