More on Ekadashi
What is Ekadashi?
Ekadashi is the eleventh lunar day (tithi) of each fortnight — twice every Hindu month — dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Many devotees observe a vrat (fast) from grains and beans, and break the fast on Dwadashi within the Parana window.
Dates depend on local sunrise and the lunar day at dawn, so Ekadashi may fall on different Gregorian dates in different cities or time zones. The list above is computed for your selected city.
Fasting and Parana
Common practice is to avoid rice, wheat, pulses, and most grains; fruits, milk, nuts, and rock salt are often allowed. Nirjala Ekadashi is a strict waterless fast. Breaking the fast at the wrong time reduces the merit of the vrat — see our Parana time guide.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Ekadashi dates differ by city?
Hindu calendar days for vrats are tied to local sunrise and which tithi is current at that moment. Nearby longitudes usually match; distant time zones can shift the civil calendar date.
How many Ekadashis are in a year?
Typically 24 (two per lunar month). Occasionally lunar adjustments create extra or skipped tithis; the engine lists what applies for your location.
Where can I read more about each Ekadashi?
Use the festival links from the main Ekadashi calendar page — many named Ekadashis have dedicated articles on Bhakti5.
