Ekadashi Calendar 2021
Twice-monthly Vaishnava fast — with parana (fast-breaking) times
Ekadashi (11th tithi) is the canonical Vaishnava fasting day. The classical vrat avoids grains and pulses; phalahar (fruits, milk, sabudana, potatoes) is permitted. The fast is broken next morning during the parana window — typically the first 3.5 hours after sunrise on Dwadashi. Vaikunta Ekadashi (Margazhi Shukla 11), Mohini Ekadashi (Vaisakha Shukla 11), and Nirjala Ekadashi (Jyeshtha Shukla 11) are especially significant.
