About this page
Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi of each paksha, so a year usually has 24; a year with an Adhik month adds two more (Padmini and Parama). The vrat is kept on the day Ekadashi prevails at sunrise.
Smarta and Vaishnava traditions sometimes fast on different days. Under the Vaishnava rule, if Dashami is still running about 96 minutes before sunrise (arunodaya), the fast moves to the next day. In such years we show both dates.
Parana, breaking the fast, is done the next day after sunrise while Dwadashi lasts. The first quarter of Dwadashi (Hari Vasara) is avoided, so parana sometimes starts a little later.
Questions people ask
How many Ekadashis are there in 2026?
2026 has 24 Ekadashis. The full list with dates, weekdays and parana times is above.
When should I break the Ekadashi fast?
The next day after sunrise, before Dwadashi ends and after Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi). Each entry above shows its parana window.
What is the difference between Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi?
When Dashami lasts until arunodaya (about 96 minutes before sunrise), the Vaishnava tradition fasts on the next day. Otherwise both fall on the same date.
