Dates are calculated astronomically from sunrise and sunset in New Delhi. In other cities the tithi timing can occasionally move the festival to another day; confirm with your local panchang or Pandit Ji for the final decision.

Ekadashi — what it is

Ekadashi is the fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Devotees fast without grain or on fruit only and break the fast the next day on Dvadashi (parana).

Tithi: The eleventh tithi of each fortnight, so twice a month (about 24 a year), in both Shukla and Krishna paksha.

Things to keep in mind

These dates are based on Ekadashi at sunrise. Vaishnava and Smarta traditions can differ by a day, and the parana time differs by city.
