Ekādaśī is a three-day discipline. Preparation begins on Daśamī.

Eat a single light sattvic meal before sunset. Avoid heavy grains, lentils, or eating late at night. Take a holy bath and resolve for the fast.

2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Tuesday, March 25, 2025 · Begins 6:20 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)

Wednesday, 26 March 2025 · Pāraṇā Window: 6:19 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.
