What is Ekadashi?

Ekadashi is the 11th day (tithi) of each waxing and waning fortnight, so it comes roughly twice a lunar month. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and observed with fasting, prayer and charity, believed to purify the mind and body. Each Ekadashi has its own name and story, and Nirjala Ekadashi and Devshayani Ekadashi are especially important. Dates here are computed with the Lahiri ayanamsa; confirm exact fasting timings with your local panchang.

Frequently asked questions

How many Ekadashi are there in 2028?

There are 24 Ekadashi dates in 2028 — usually 24, with 26 in a year that has an extra lunar month (Adhik Maas).

How is Ekadashi fasting observed?

Devotees avoid grains and beans, eat simple fruit or go without food, and spend the day in prayer to Lord Vishnu. The fast is usually broken the next morning on Dwadashi at the prescribed time.

Nirjala Ekadashi (a waterless fast) and Devshayani and Prabodhini Ekadashi are among the most significant, but every Ekadashi carries spiritual merit.
