Where calendars can differ
Padmini Ekadashi, Tue, 26 May or Wed, 27 May
Ekadashi is current at sunrise on both 26 May and 27 May. Calendars keep the fast on one of the two days by their own tradition - check the one you follow.
Yogini Ekadashi, Fri, 10 Jul
Ekadashi begins after sunrise on 10 July and ends before the next sunrise, so no sunrise falls in it. It is listed on the day it begins; Vaishnava calendars, which do not fast on an Ekadashi that Dashami touches, keep 11 July. The tithi changes within 10 minutes of sunrise, so an almanac that computes it a few minutes differently can show the neighbouring day.
Devutthana Ekadashi, Fri, 20 Nov
Ekadashi begins after sunrise on 20 November and ends before the next sunrise, so no sunrise falls in it. It is listed on the day it begins; Vaishnava calendars, which do not fast on an Ekadashi that Dashami touches, keep 21 November.
How these dates are worked out
The fast day is the day whose sunrise at New Delhi falls in Ekadashi - the 11th tithi of the Shukla (waxing) or Krishna (waning) fortnight. Where Ekadashi is current at two sunrises, at none, or where the Dwadashi after it is too short to break the fast in, almanacs can keep a different day; those rows name that day and say why.
The tithi is the angle the Moon has moved ahead of the Sun, in 12-degree steps, on the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa; sunrise and sunset are for New Delhi's coordinates. The lunar month is named by the sign the Sun is in when it begins, and 2026 has an adhika (extra) month, Jyeshtha, from 17 May to 15 June. The methodology page says how the engine is checked.
Questions about Ekadashi in 2026
- How many Ekadashi are there in 2026?
- 24 Ekadashi fall in calendar 2026 - two in every lunar month, one in each fortnight, including Padmini Ekadashi (26 May) and Parama Ekadashi (11 June) of the adhika (extra) month of Jyeshtha.
- How is the Ekadashi date decided?
- The fast day is the day whose sunrise at New Delhi falls in Ekadashi - the 11th tithi of the Shukla (waxing) or Krishna (waning) fortnight. Where Ekadashi is current at two sunrises, at none, or where the Dwadashi after it is too short to break the fast in, almanacs can keep a different day; those rows name that day and say why.
- Why does my calendar show a different Ekadashi date?
- Three reasons account for most differences. A city other than New Delhi has its own sunrise. Smarta and Vaishnava calendars apply different rules where Dashami touches the Ekadashi - Vaishnava ones, ISKCON among them, can keep the next day. And where the tithi changes within minutes of sunrise, almanacs that compute a few minutes differently can disagree; those rows are marked here.
- Why is the same date filed under two different months?
- North Indian calendars (purnimanta) end the lunar month at the full moon; South and West Indian ones (amanta) at the new moon. The Shukla fortnight has the same month name in both, but the Krishna fortnight belongs to the next month in a purnimanta calendar - so this page gives the purnimanta month and adds the amanta one where they differ.
- Does this page give the parana (fast-breaking) time?
- No. It gives the fast day and when Ekadashi begins and ends. The parana window, on the next day after sunrise, is not computed here.
- Do these dates apply outside New Delhi?
- They are computed for sunrise and sunset at New Delhi. Across India most dates are the same, but where a tithi changes close to sunrise or sunset another city - and more often a city abroad, on its own clock - can keep the observance a day earlier or later. The panchang calculator gives the tithi for any date and place.
