Many devotees are confused about the Ekadashi date this month. Some calendars mention 14, while others say 15, which is why many people are searching on Google: “Ekadashi kab hai – 14 ko ya 15?”
Here is the correct explanation.
Ekadashi Date This Month
According to the Hindu Panchang, Ekadashi will be observed on 15.
However, the Ekadashi tithi begins on 14, which is why some calendars mention 14 as well.
Why Some Calendars Show 14 and Others 15
In the Hindu lunar calendar, festival dates depend on tithi (lunar day) rather than the normal sunrise-to-sunrise date.
-
Ekadashi tithi starts on 14
-
It continues into 15
-
Since the tithi is present at sunrise on 15, most devotees observe the fast on 15
Because of this timing difference, some panchangs mention 14, while the main fasting day is 15.
Which Date Should You Follow?
For most devotees:
-
Ekadashi Vrat Date: 15
-
Tithi Start: 14
-
Reason: Ekadashi tithi is present at sunrise on 15
So if you are wondering “Ekadashi kab hai – 14 ya 15?”, the correct fasting day is 15.
