Names follow the standard (Purnimanta) convention keyed to the amanta month; the fasting date follows Drik Panchang's published list (a vriddhi Ekadashi is taken on the second, Dashami-free day). Observance differs by sampradaya — smarta and Vaishnava can differ by a day. The parana shown is the preferred Dwadashi window.

Questions, answered

How many Ekadashi are there in 2026?

There are 24 Ekadashi occurrences in 2026 at the reference location, each computed from the real tithi.

How are the Ekadashi names assigned?

Each Ekadashi is named by its lunar month and paksha, following the standard (Purnimanta) convention keyed here to the amanta month. An Adhika (leap) month adds Padmini and Parama. Some names have regional variants, disclosed as convention.

When is the parana (fast-breaking)?

On Dwadashi, after sunrise and after Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) ends, and before Dwadashi ends. The window shown is the preferred one — Pratahkaal (early morning), or the Aparahna when Hari Vasara covers the morning.

Are these dates location-specific?

The tithi instants are global; the sunrise-based day is computed at New Delhi and can shift by one day elsewhere.
