Ekadashi Dates 2026 & Tithi Calendar (Purnima, Amavasya, Pradosh)

Ekadashi dates 2026 and a tithi calendar for your city

This free Ekadashi dates 2026 calculator lists every Ekadashi of the year with its name — Papankusha, Devutthana, Mokshada and the rest, including Padmini and Parama in the 2026 adhika month — the tithi’s begin and end times, and the parana (fast-breaking) window the next morning. Next to them it gives Purnima, Amavasya, Pradosh, Sankashti Chaturthi and Sankranti, and a month tithi calendar that shows the tithi at each sunrise.

Hindu fasting days are fixed by sunrise, so they depend on where you live: an Ekadashi can fall a day earlier in New York than in New Delhi. Choose your city, or any year from 1900 to 2099, and the dates are worked out for that place. The automatic test compares the results with Drik Panchang’s published lists for New Delhi (2025–2027).

Ekadashi Dates & Tithi Calendar features

How Ekadashi and the other dates are calculated

A tithi is a 12° step of the Moon’s elongation from the Sun, so there are thirty in a lunar month; Ekadashi is the eleventh of each half. The day a tithi “belongs to” is the day at whose sunrise it is current (udaya tithi). Smarta Ekadashi is that day; if Ekadashi is current at two sunrises the second is used; if it begins and ends between two sunrises the fast is kept on the day it begins, with a Gauna (alternative) day after it.

The Vaishnava rule is stricter: if Dashami is still current at arunodaya, 96 minutes before sunrise, the fast moves to the next day, as it also does when the following Dwadashi spans two sunrises. Parana is the next morning after sunrise, after the first quarter of Dwadashi (Hari Vasara), preferably within the first fifth of the day and before Dwadashi ends.

Purnima vrat and Darsha Amavasya fall on the first day whose midday (the third fifth of daytime) has the tithi, so the Purnima fast can come a day before the sunrise Purnima. Pradosh is the day Trayodashi is current during Pradosh kaal, the first fifth of the night; Sankashti is the Krishna Chaturthi current at moonrise; Sankranti is the moment the sidereal Sun enters a new sign.

Ekadashi names by lunar month

Krishna-paksha names are given here by the amanta month that ends with that new moon; north Indian purnimanta calendars file the same fortnight under the next month, which is why a list may say “Krishna, Jyeshtha” for Apara Ekadashi.

Limits

Only tithi-based dates are given; festivals with extra regional rules (Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali) are left to the daily panchang and your temple calendar. ISKCON calendars add Mahadvadashi rules that can move a few Vaishnava fasts. Near a sunrise boundary, one or two minutes of difference can shift a date. For the Gowri times of a day see Gowri panchangam. Focused lists of the same dates are on Amavasya and Purnima dates, Pradosh vrat, Sankashti Chaturthi and the monthly vrat calendar.
