Ekadashi Dates 2027
Ekadashi is the 11th lunar day (tithi) of each fortnight in the Hindu calendar, occurring twice every month — once in the Shukla Paksha and once in the Krishna Paksha. This gives a total of 24 Ekadashis in a regular year and 26 in a lunar leap year, each with its own name and significance.
Ekadashi is one of the most sacred days in Vaishnavism and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Observing the Ekadashi fast is believed to cleanse sins, purify the mind and body, and bring the devotee closer to liberation (moksha). Among all Ekadashis, Nirjala Ekadashi is considered the most powerful.

Ekadashi – Significance, Fasting Rules & Rituals
What is Ekadashi?
Ekadashi is the 11th lunar day (tithi) of each fortnight in the Hindu calendar, occurring twice a month — once in the Shukla Paksha and once in the Krishna Paksha, giving 24 Ekadashis in a regular year.
What is the significance of Ekadashi?
Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Observing the fast is believed to cleanse sins, purify the mind and body, and bring the devotee closer to liberation (moksha). It is also a powerful day for meditation and reading of Vishnu scriptures.
How is the Ekadashi fast observed?
The fast begins at sunrise and is broken the next morning on Dwadashi after sunrise. Grains, beans, and certain vegetables are strictly avoided. Permitted foods include fruits, milk, nuts, rock salt, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and sabudana.
Which Ekadashi is the most important?
Nirjala Ekadashi in Jyeshtha month is the most powerful — observing it with a complete waterless fast is said to carry the merit of all 24 Ekadashis combined. Other important ones include Devshayani Ekadashi, Devutthana Ekadashi, and Vaikuntha Ekadashi.
What foods are avoided on Ekadashi?
All grains (rice, wheat, dal), lentils, beans, onion, and garlic are avoided. Permitted foods include fruits, milk, ghee, rock salt, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sabudana, and nuts.
