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.

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/february and asks search engines not to index it. One address for "Ekadashi in February" that answers for the year you are in beats a new address every January that starts again from nothing.

Common questions

When is Ekadashi in February 2024?

Two Ekadashis in February 2024: Shattila Ekadashi on Tuesday, 6 February (parana 7 Feb, 7:05 AM to 9:17 AM) and Jaya Ekadashi on Tuesday, 20 February (parana 21 Feb, 6:54 AM to 9:10 AM), in New Delhi.

How many Ekadashi days are there in February?

2 in February 2024 for New Delhi. The count moves between years because a lunation is about 29.5 days and a Gregorian month is 28 to 31, so the same month can carry a different number in two consecutive years.

Why does my calendar show a different Ekadashi date?

Because a tithi rarely begins and ends at sunrise. When it is running at sunrise on two days, or on none, traditions divide: some take the day the tithi touches sunrise, others the day it begins. The start and end instants in the table are the astronomy and are not in dispute — the day is an interpretation of them, and this page names the one it used.

When can the fast be broken?

On Dwadashi, the tithi after Ekadashi. The parana window shown against each date is the pratahkala one — the first fifth of the daylight — closed early if Dwadashi itself ends inside it.
