🌿 What is Ekadashi?
Ekadashi (एकादशी) falls on the 11th lunar day (tithi) of each fortnight — twice a month, 24 times a year. Fasting on Ekadashi is one of the most meritorious vrats in Sanatan Dharma. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is said to purify the mind, body and soul, and grant liberation (moksha). In 2027 there are 25 Ekadashi dates, listed below with their tithi and meaning.
Next Ekadashi: Devutthana Ekadashi falls on Friday, November 20, 2026 (Kartika Shukla).
