Ekadashi is shown on the day it holds at sunrise. Vaishnava Ekadashi, and some Smarta panchangs when Ekadashi ends soon after sunrise, can fall a day apart; follow your family or temple tradition. Month names follow the Purnimanta (North Indian) calendar.
Frequently asked questions
Why do Ekadashi dates differ between calendars?
Smarta and Vaishnava traditions use different rules about Dashami touching sunrise, and the tithi's timing depends on the city. That is why we show the tithi's start and end time with each date.
When is Pradosh Vrat kept?
On the day Trayodashi tithi holds at sunset, in both the waxing and waning fortnight. It is called Som, Bhaum or Shani Pradosh when it falls on Monday, Tuesday or Saturday.
What is the difference between Sankashti and Vinayaka Chaturthi?
Sankashti is the Chaturthi of the waning moon (Krishna paksha), and the fast ends after seeing the moon. Vinayaka Chaturthi is the Chaturthi of the waxing moon (Shukla paksha), with Ganesh puja at midday.
