2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Wednesday, November 6, 1776 · Begins 6:38 AM (Sunrise)

Complete fast from sunrise to sunrise (water-only, fruits, or Nirjala as per capacity). Continuous prayer, chanting, and night vigil (Jāgaraṇa).

3

Dvādaśī · Breaking the Fast (Pāraṇā)

Thursday, 7 November 1776 · Pāraṇā Window: 6:38 AM – 9:32 AM
