Ekadashi 2027 List: All Dates, Names and Tithi Times

Facts checked November 2026.

This page gives every Ekadashi of 2027 in one table, with its Hindu month and tithi times. All dates, names and times come from one source, Drik Panchang, set to New Delhi. Dates and times can change by city.

Ekadashi 2027 list: when is each Ekadashi?

The table below shows the vrat day and the start and end of the Ekadashi tithi. Hindu months follow the Purnimanta naming that Drik uses for New Delhi. In Amanta regions (such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and South India), each Krishna Paksha Ekadashi falls in the month before, so Saphala is in Margashirsha there. All times are Indian Standard Time.

Rows marked “Gauna and Vaishnava” or “Vaishnava” are the second fasting day that Drik lists for some Ekadashis. Read the section on Smartha and Vaishnava dates below to know which day your family should keep.

Vijaya Ekadashi: Drik lists Thursday 4 March for New Delhi; some panchangs may list 3 March.

What is Ekadashi?

Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi (lunar day) of each fortnight in the Hindu calendar. Every month has two: one in Shukla Paksha (the waxing moon) and one in Krishna Paksha (the waning moon). That gives about 24 in a normal year. In 2027 the calendar year holds 25 because Saphala Ekadashi falls twice, once in early January and again in late December.

Devotees of Lord Vishnu keep the Ekadashi fast to seek his blessings. Each Ekadashi has its own name, but the way of fasting is broadly the same.

What are the rules of the Ekadashi vrat?

Customs differ between families and sampradayas. Below are the traditional rules as Drik Panchang describes them. Follow your own family custom or your guru’s advice where it differs.

• Three days of discipline: on Dashami (the day before) devotees eat a single meal around midday, so no food is left in the stomach on Ekadashi.
• No grains: all grains and cereals are avoided on Ekadashi. Fruit, milk and other phalahar are common for those who do not keep a full fast.
• Choose your level before you start: a full fast, water only, or phalahar. Decide it in your sankalp in the morning and keep to it.
• Break the fast after sunrise on the next day (Dwadashi). This is called parana.

When should I break the fast (parana)?

By tradition, as Drik Panchang describes it:

1. Break the fast on Dwadashi, the day after Ekadashi, after sunrise. Parana should be done within Dwadashi tithi, unless Dwadashi is over before sunrise.
2. Do not break the fast during Hari Vasara, the first quarter of Dwadashi tithi.
3. Early morning (Pratahkal) is preferred. Avoid midday (Madhyahna); if you miss the morning, break the fast after midday.

Exact parana time depends on your city — see Drik Panchang’s page for each Ekadashi.

When Ekadashi and Pradosh vrat fall on back-to-back days, Drik suggests a symbolic parana with water only.

Smartha vs Vaishnava Ekadashi: why two dates?

Sometimes the Ekadashi tithi touches two sunrises, or other rules move the fast. Then panchangs give two days. Drik’s main list is for Smarthas. It says the Vaishnava fasting day can be one day after the Smartha day.

Drik advises that Smartha families keep the fast on the first day only. The second fast is suggested for sanyasis, widows and those seeking moksha; Drik calls it the Gauna day, and in 2027 it falls on the same day as the Vaishnava fast for Pausha Putrada and Kamika. Staunch devotees may fast on both days. Vaishnava groups such as ISKCON follow their own calendars.

For all other Ekadashis, Drik shows one day for New Delhi. ISKCON calendars for other cities can differ.

Why is Nirjala Ekadashi so important?

Nirjala Ekadashi falls on Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi. In 2027 it is on Monday, 14 June. Drik Panchang calls it the most significant of all the Ekadashis. “Nirjala” means “without water”: the fast is kept without food or even water. Tradition says Sage Vyasa taught that keeping this one fast gives the merit of all 24 Ekadashis. It is also called Pandava Ekadashi or Bhimaseni Ekadashi, after Bhima.

A fast without water in June heat is hard. Elders, pregnant women and anyone unwell should ask a doctor first.

What happens on Devshayani and Devutthana Ekadashi?

Devshayani Ekadashi (Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi) is on Wednesday, 14 July 2027. Lord Vishnu is said to go to sleep on this day, and Chaturmas, the four holy months, begins. It comes shortly after the Jagannath Rath Yatra. It is also called Padma Ekadashi, Ashadhi Ekadashi and Hari Shayani Ekadashi.

Devutthana Ekadashi (Kartika Shukla Ekadashi), also called Prabodhini or Dev Uthani Ekadashi, is on Wednesday, 10 November 2027. This is the day Lord Vishnu wakes from his yogic sleep, four months after Devshayani.

Is there an Adhik maas in 2027?

No. Drik Panchang’s 2027 list runs through the twelve months in normal order with no repeated month. It has no Padmini Ekadashi or Parama Ekadashi, the two Ekadashis that come only in an Adhik (Purushottam) maas. The last Adhik maas was Adhik Jyeshtha in 2026; Drik lists Adhika Jyeshtha Purnima on 31 May 2026.

Ekadashi and your yatra plans

Many pilgrims like to time darshan at a Vishnu temple with an Ekadashi. If you plan a Badrinath darshan, read our Badrinath yatra guide first and check that the kapat are open on your date. Shiva devotees keep the Pradosh vrat on Trayodashi, usually two days after Ekadashi; our twelve Jyotirlinga list helps if you are planning darshan for Pradosh or Shivratri. If you cannot travel, you can ask about an online puja on an Ekadashi.

How Yatra To Temples can help

If you want to plan Badrinath or the full Char Dham yatra around an Ekadashi, share your dates and ask us for a plan. For pujas or vrat meals on the day, ask us.

Frequently asked questions

Ekadashi kab hai in 2027? How many Ekadashis are there?

There are 25 Ekadashi vrat days in 2027 as per Drik Panchang, New Delhi. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on 3 January and the last is Saphala Ekadashi again on 23 December. Three of them also have a separate Vaishnava day.

When is Nirjala Ekadashi 2027?

Nirjala Ekadashi is on Monday, 14 June 2027. The tithi runs from 2:11 AM on 14 June to 2:07 AM on 15 June (New Delhi). Parana is on Dwadashi, 15 June; check the exact time for your city on Drik Panchang.

Why does my local panchang show a different Ekadashi date?

Ekadashi depends on sunrise, and sunrise changes from city to city. A temple may also follow the Vaishnava day instead of the Smartha day. If your date differs by one day, check the city setting and which tradition your panchang follows.

Should I fast on the Smartha or the Vaishnava date?

Drik Panchang advises Smartha families to fast on the first day only. The second (Gauna) day is suggested for sanyasis, widows and those seeking moksha, and it matches the Vaishnava day. ISKCON followers keep the Vaishnava date.

Ekadashi vrat kab todna chahiye? When is parana?

By tradition, the fast is broken on Dwadashi after sunrise, within Dwadashi tithi, and not during Hari Vasara, the first quarter of Dwadashi. Early morning is preferred and midday is avoided. The exact time depends on your city, so check Drik Panchang’s page for that Ekadashi.

Can I eat rice on Ekadashi?

By tradition, all grains and cereals, including rice, are avoided on Ekadashi. Many people take fruit, milk and other phalahar. Families follow their own custom on what counts as phalahar.

Is there an Adhik maas Ekadashi in 2027?

No. There is no Adhik maas in 2027, so Padmini and Parama Ekadashi do not fall this year. Drik Panchang’s 2027 list shows only the regular Ekadashis.
