Eleventh tithi · both fortnights · 24-26 a year
When is the next Ekadashi?
Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi of each fortnight, so it comes round roughly twice a lunar month. The date below is computed from the Moon and the Sun for your city, and the tithi's own start and end are shown with it — those instants are the astronomy, and the day is an interpretation of them.
- Every date and time below is computed for Pune, not copied from a calendar
- The tithi's own start and end are shown, so you can check the day yourself
- Sunrise decides the day, and sunrise differs across India by over an hour

Sunrise decides which day a tithi names, and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour — so the day itself, not only the clock times, can differ between two cities on this list.

Parana — breaking the fast
8 Sep, 06:20 to 08:49
Parana is kept on Dwadashi, the tithi after Ekadashi. The window is the first fifth of the daylight (pratahkala). Almanacs differ on the window; this one is stated so you can compare it with your own.
Descriptions of fasting practice here are traditional, not medical advice. Consult a doctor before fasting, particularly if you are pregnant, diabetic, elderly or on medication.
The two lunar-month names above are both correct. The same fortnight carries different month names in the purnimanta reckoning used across North India and the amanta reckoning used in the south and west — which is one of the honest reasons two calendars can disagree about a date.

Every Ekadashi of the year
24 fall this year. The count moves between years: twelve lunations fall about eleven days short of a solar year, and an adhika (extra) month adds more.

Times are local to Pune. A row marked kshaya tithi is one the tithi never carried at sunrise — it began after one and ended before the next, and the observance is kept on the day it ran through. A row marked also kept the next day is one where the tithi spans two sunrises, so two traditions genuinely take two different days.
One month at a time
Ekadashi month by month
The same dates, split by calendar month, with the years either side of each. Every one of these is a stable address: /ekadashi/march answers "when is Ekadashi in March" for whichever year you are standing in, so it never has to be rewritten and never decays.

Common questions
When is the next Ekadashi?
Monday, 7 September 2026. The tithi runs from 6 Sep, 19:30 to 7 Sep, 17:04 in Pune.
Why does my calendar show a different Ekadashi date?
Because a tithi rarely begins and ends at sunrise. When it is running at sunrise on two days, or on none, traditions divide: some take the day the tithi touches sunrise, others the day it begins. The start and end instants above are the astronomy and are not in dispute — the day is an interpretation of them, and this page names the one it used.
How many Ekadashi days are there in a year?
24 fall in 2026 for Pune. The count moves between years because twelve lunations fall about eleven days short of a solar year, and an adhika (extra) month adds more.
When can the fast be broken?
On Dwadashi, the tithi after Ekadashi. The window shown above is the pratahkala one — the first fifth of the daylight — closed early if Dwadashi itself ends inside it.
