Rule applied: Smarta — Your calculation profile lists the Smarta date first (as in most North Indian Panchangs: Ekadashi at sunrise, with the vriddhi, kshaya and Dwadashi rules on the Ekadashi page); the Vaishnava (ISKCON) date is always shown beside it. About calculation profiles

Ekadashi list 2029

Rules used

Parana (breaking the fast)

Parana is done on the day after Ekadashi, after sunrise, while Dwadashi is still running. It is preferably done in Pratahkal (the first fifth of the day) and should not be delayed into Madhyahna unless Hari Vasara makes that unavoidable.

Hari Vasara

Hari Vasara is the first quarter of Dwadashi tithi. Parana is not done during Hari Vasara. If Hari Vasara continues past Pratahkal, Parana is done after Madhyahna, once Hari Vasara has ended.

Smarta and Vaishnava rules

Smarta rule (as in most North Indian Panchangs): the fast is kept on the day Ekadashi prevails at sunrise. If Ekadashi prevails at two sunrises, householders keep the first day — unless Dwadashi also prevails at the sunrise after the second day, when everyone keeps the second. If Dwadashi would end before the sunrise after the Ekadashi day (no Dwadashi left for Parana), the fast is kept on the previous day. An Ekadashi that touches no sunrise is kept on the day it begins and ends.

Vaishnava rule (ISKCON / Gaudiya calendar, Hari Bhakti Vilasa as applied by the GCal program): Ekadashi must already be running at Arunodaya, 96 minutes (2 muhurtas) before sunrise; if Dashami still runs then, the fast moves to Dwadashi. Eight Mahadwadashis also move or fix the fast (listed below). Parana runs from sunrise, or from the end of the first quarter of Dwadashi, to one third of the daytime or the end of Dwadashi, whichever is earlier. Both dates are always shown; your calculation profile chooses which comes first.

Gauna Ekadashi

When Ekadashi spans two days, some Panchangs list the later day as Gauna Ekadashi. Householders usually keep the first day; the later day is kept by some ascetics and Vaishnavas. Both are shown so that you can follow your family's tradition.

The eight Mahadwadashis (Vaishnava)

Unmilani Mahadwadashi
Ekadashi prevails at two sunrises (increasing) while Dwadashi does not; the fast is on the second day.
Vyanjuli Mahadwadashi
After a pure Ekadashi, Dwadashi prevails at two sunrises; the fast is on the first Dwadashi day.
Trisprisha Mahadwadashi
Ekadashi at sunrise, Dwadashi during the day and Trayodashi before the next sunrise — three tithis touch one day.
Pakshavardhini Mahadwadashi
The coming Purnima or Amavasya prevails at two sunrises (the fortnight increases); the fast is on Dwadashi.
Jaya Mahadwadashi
Shukla Dwadashi from sunrise to sunset with Punarvasu nakshatra from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Vijaya Mahadwadashi
Shukla Dwadashi from sunrise to sunset with Shravana nakshatra from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Jayanti Mahadwadashi
Shukla Dwadashi from sunrise to sunset with Rohini nakshatra from sunrise to the next sunrise.
Papanashini Mahadwadashi
Shukla Dwadashi from sunrise to sunset with Pushya nakshatra from sunrise to the next sunrise.

Vaishnava dates are calculated for your place, as GCal does; they can differ between cities by a day when a tithi ends close to sunrise.

Traditions may vary by region and Panchang convention. Times are shown for the selected place, time zone and calculation profile.
