Frequently asked questions
When is the next Ekadashi?
The next Ekadashi is Papankusha Ekadashi on Thu 22 Oct 2026. Tithi runs Wed 21 Oct, 2:12 PM to Thu 22 Oct, 2:48 PM IST.
How many Ekadashi are there in a year?
There are 24 Ekadashis in a normal year, two in each lunar month (one in the Shukla paksha and one in the Krishna paksha). A year with an Adhika month has 26.
What is Parana?
Parana is the breaking of the Ekadashi fast on the next morning, after sunrise and before the Dwadashi tithi ends. The Parana window for each Ekadashi is listed above.
Why do some panchangs show a different date?
When Ekadashi covers two sunrises, Smarta tradition keeps the first day and Vaishnava tradition (for example ISKCON) usually the second. Dates here follow the tithi at Delhi sunrise; other cities can differ by a day.
What should I eat on Ekadashi?
Traditionally no grains or beans. Fruit, milk, nuts, sabudana and kuttu are common. Many also avoid onion and garlic.
