Coming soon on Google PlayWhat is Ekadashi?
Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi (lunar day) of each paksha — twice a month. Devotees of Vishnu fast on Ekadashi and break the fast on the next day, Dwadashi, during the parana window. When Ekadashi spans two sunrises, Smarta and Vaishnava traditions may observe it on different days.
What is parana time?
Parana is the window for breaking the Ekadashi fast. It begins after sunrise on Dwadashi, once the first quarter of Dwadashi (Hari Vasara) has passed, and should end before Dwadashi ends.
