Civil date = Ekadasi fasting observance date (Arunodaya / Suddha rule). Start/end = Moon-Sun elongation 12° boundaries (IST).

Ekadasi viratham (tradition)

Tradition often pairs ekadasi with Perumal worship and a grain-free fast, with paranai on the following dwadashi in many lineages. This page does not define fasting rules - follow your acharya and temple.

Why calendars disagree

Sunrise tithi vs exact tithi moment, plus Vakya/Drik differences - Vakya vs Thirukanitha. Our pins: methodology guide.

Frequently asked questions

When does ekadasi viratham start?

Many traditions use the civil day when ekadasi prevails at sunrise. Exact start and paranai are temple-specific - calendar reference only here.

Shukla vs krishna ekadasi?

Shukla = waxing 11th; krishna = waning 11th (our index 26). See the paksha column in the table.

Chennai only?

Yes. Use the app for local sunrise at your place.
