Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi of each fortnight, so it comes twice a month, once in the bright (Shukla) and once in the dark (Krishna) paksha. Many Hindus, especially Vaishnavas, fast on Ekadashi and worship Vishnu. Each of the 24 Ekadashis of the year has its own name and story.

Dates are for New Delhi and use the tithi running at local sunrise. A tithi can start and end at any hour, so the table also gives its start and end time. When Ekadashi is running at sunrise on two consecutive days, both are shown; the second is the day many Vaishnava traditions keep the fast.

When is the next Ekadashi?
The next Ekadashi is on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 (Indira Ekadashi, New Delhi).
Can the Ekadashi date differ between cities?
Yes. The tithi is read at local sunrise, so a city far from India can see Ekadashi a day earlier or later. Use the calendar with your own city for exact dates.
