Ekadashi Dates in 2026: Complete Vrat Calendar & Parana Guide
You should bear in mind that deciding when Ekadashi falls is not just a matter of checking if the Tithi overlaps with some civil date. A Panchang also considers local sunrise and Tithis surrounding it. Since the time of sunrise is different in such cities as Kolkata, Delhi or London, the Ekadashi which occurs at sunrise in one place can occur on different civil days at the same time.

Janmashtami 2026: Nishita Puja Time and Fasting Rules
If you live outside India, use a Panchang calculated for your city rather than converting the New Delhi time. Local sunrise, sunset and tithi boundaries can change both Nishita Kaal and, in some countries, the civil observance date. Your local temple’s 2026 calendar is usually the most practical reference for both the fasting day and the main puja schedule.

Ekadashi Dates in 2026: Complete Vrat Calendar & Parana Guide
This is why putting New Delhi dates into a calendar in Japan and Nigeria can be cumbersome. You must check the calendar based on location rather than the city where your parents are from in India, and select a Panchang that aligns with your customs. If a temple in your area has its own fasting schedule, then that will probably be the best point of reference for your fasting days. Ekadashi dates in 2026: New Delhi–IST baseline calendar

Ekadashi Dates in 2026: Complete Vrat Calendar & Parana Guide
You need to calculate the date from your local observance rather than using an Indian civil date. You must first select your city and relevant time zone in the trusted Panchang, then follow the tradition you belong to.

Ekadashi Dates in 2026: Complete Vrat Calendar & Parana Guide
You can set your Panchang according to your new location in order to know which Tithi is ongoing. The day on which Ekadashi is present during the local sunrise is usually the Ekadashi fasting day. In the case of Ekadashi, do not rely only on the Gregorian date in an Indian list, and make sure that you are following the Smarta or Vaishnava calendar, because the fasting day may be different depending on whether Dashami or Ekadashi receives an important sunrise. How many dates of Ekadashi fasting should be expected in the year 2026?

Ekadashi Dates in 2026: Complete Vrat Calendar & Parana Guide
The act of completing the Ekadashi fast is called Parana. This paraphernalia is performed sometime on Dwadashi, otherwise known as the twelfth lunar day, and it must be performed after sunrise. Devotees do their best to perform Parana the moment Dwadashi sets in, as performing Parana either at daybreak or at any time after Dwadashi is considerably acceptable as part of the ritual, and many calendars caution devotees against performing the act at any time after Dwadashi.

Janmashtami 2026: Nishita Puja Time and Fasting Rules
Parana is the formal breaking of the fast. The stricter reference practice is to complete it after the relevant tithi and nakshatra restrictions have ended and, where prescribed, after sunrise. For New Delhi in 2026, major Panchang listings support a morning parana after about 6:00 AM on Saturday, 5 September, because Ashtami has ended before sunrise. Check your temple’s instructions if it requires a particular post-sunrise window.
