Month-by-Month Ekadashi – 2028
About Ekadashi in the Tamil Calendar
Ekadashi (ஏகாதசி) occurs twice every month — on the 11th day of both Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) and Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight). This means there are approximately 24 Ekadashis in a year (25 in some years that have an extra month — Adhika Masa).
Ekadashi is considered the most important fasting day for Vaishnava devotees — those who worship Lord Vishnu or Krishna. The Ekadashi fast involves avoiding rice and grains, and many devout Vaishnavas observe a complete fast (nirjala — without even water). Fruits, milk, and non-grain foods are permitted for those who cannot do a complete fast.
Each Ekadashi has a specific name. Famous ones include Vaikunta Ekadashi (Margazhi month, December), Nirjala Ekadashi (Jyeshtha month, June), and Indira Ekadashi (Ashwin month, October). Reading or listening to Vishnu Sahasranama is especially meritorious on Ekadashi.
