About Ekadashi

Ekadashi (Sanskrit: एकादशी) is the 11th lunar day (tithi) of each fortnight in the Hindu calendar. There are two Ekadashis in every lunar month - one during Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and one during Krishna Paksha (waning moon).

Fasting on Ekadashi is considered highly auspicious and is believed to cleanse the body and mind, leading to spiritual upliftment. Each Ekadashi has a unique name and significance based on the Hindu month in which it falls.

Shukla Paksha Ekadashi

Occurs during the bright/waxing moon phase. Generally considered more auspicious for new beginnings and positive undertakings.

Krishna Paksha Ekadashi

Occurs during the dark/waning moon phase. Often associated with releasing negativity and ancestral blessings.

Amanta vs Purnimanta Calendar Systems

The Hindu lunar calendar follows two systems for determining when a month begins and ends. Both systems have the same Ekadashi dates, but the month names differ during Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight).

Purnimanta (North India)

  • Month ends on Purnima (Full Moon)
  • Month starts from Krishna Pratipad
  • Used in: North India, Gujarat, Maharashtra
  • Traditional Vedic system

Amanta (South India)

  • Month ends on Amavasya (New Moon)
  • Month starts from Shukla Pratipad
  • Used in: South India, Bengal, Odisha
  • Popular in modern calendars

Important: Ekadashi names (like "Saphala Ekadashi", "Jaya Ekadashi") always follow the Purnimanta system regardless of which calendar system you use. Only the displayed month name differs during Krishna Paksha.
