Ekadashi in April

Times are local to New Delhi. A row marked kshaya tithi is one the tithi never carried at sunrise — it began after one and ended before the next, and the observance is kept on the day it ran through. A row marked also kept the next day is one where the tithi spans two sunrises, so two traditions genuinely take two different days; the Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi calendars differ on exactly that.

Parana is kept on Dwadashi, the tithi after Ekadashi. The window given is the pratahkala one — the first fifth of the daylight — closed early where Dwadashi itself ends inside it. Almanacs differ on the convention; this page names the one it used so you can compare it with your own.

Descriptions of fasting practice here are traditional, not medical advice. Consult a doctor before fasting, particularly if you are pregnant, diabetic, elderly or on medication.

• Each tithi's own start and end is shown, so you can check the day yourself
• This address never carries a year — it answers for whichever year you are standing in

The same month, computed for New Delhi, across the years this page answers for. Past years are kept rather than dropped: checking last year's dates against a calendar you already have is the cheapest way to decide whether to trust this one.

Those year links are variants of this page rather than pages of their own: each one carries a canonical back to /ekadashi/april and asks search engines not to index it. One address for "Ekadashi in April" that answers for the year you are in beats a new address every January that starts again from nothing.
