Dates are for Mumbai. A tithi that changes close to sunrise or sunset can fall a day earlier or later in another city, so for your own town open the festival in the app.
When it falls
11th day of the waxing moon, in Pausha. Like every lunar festival it lands on a different Gregorian date each year. Muhurtha works the date out from the positions of the Sun and Moon, using the rule for this festival; see how every festival is dated.
The story
King Suketuman of Bhadravati had no child until sages told him to keep this Ekadashi. A son was born, and the day is thought to bless couples hoping for a child.
How it is kept
Couples fast, worship Vishnu or the child Krishna and read the Putrada Ekadashi katha, breaking the fast the next day.
