2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 · Begins 6:31 AM (Sunrise)

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

Dvādaśī · Breaking the Fast (Pāraṇā)

Thursday, 12 December 2024 · Pāraṇā Window: 6:31 AM – 9:22 AM

Morning bath, offer charity (dāna) to the needy or Brahmins, and break the fast strictly within the pāraṇā window before Dvādaśī ends.
