Month names follow the Amanta calendar (month ends on Amavasya). Dates follow the tithi at sunrise in New Delhi (Smarta rule). Vaishnava calendars sometimes observe a day later.

What is Ekadashi?

Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi of each fortnight, so it comes twice a month. It is sacred to Lord Vishnu, and devotees fast from grains and beans, read scripture and stay awake in devotion. Each of the 24 Ekadashis of the year has its own name and story, such as Nirjala Ekadashi in Jyeshtha and Devutthana Ekadashi in Kartika.

How to observe the fast

  • Begin with a light, sattvic meal on Dashami.
  • On Ekadashi, avoid rice, grains and pulses; fruit, milk and sabudana are common.
  • Break the fast (parana) on Dwadashi after sunrise, before Dwadashi ends.

Frequently asked questions

When is the next Ekadashi?

It is shown at the top of the list above, with a countdown.

Why are there two Ekadashi dates sometimes?

When Ekadashi spans two sunrises, Smarta followers observe the first day and Vaishnava followers often the second.

How many Ekadashis are in a year?

Usually 24, and 26 in a year with an extra (Adhik) month.
