2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Saturday, May 17, 1777 · Begins 6:16 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)

Sunday, 18 May 1777 · Pāraṇā Window: 8:22 AM – 9:27 AM
