Ekadashi 2026 – dates and timings
All 24 ekadashi fasting days of 2026 in the Telugu (amanta) calendar with the name of each ekadashi and the exact start and end of the tithi in IST. The fast day is the day the ekadashi tithi is at sunrise in Hyderabad; when it is at two sunrises the second (dwadashi-yukta) day is kept, and when it never touches a sunrise the day it prevails in daytime is listed, as Telugu almanacs do. Tholi Ekadashi, Vaikuntha (Mukkoti) Ekadashi and Bhishma Ekadashi are the ones most widely observed in the Telugu states. Cities where the date differs are noted in the last column. In 2026 the first falls on Wednesday 14 January 2026 and the last on Sunday 20 December 2026 (India). 20 of the 24 dates fall on a different day in at least one city abroad. 6 of the India dates fall on a weekend: 15 March 2026 (Sun), 29 March 2026 (Sun), 25 July 2026 (Sat), 9 August 2026 (Sun), 23 August 2026 (Sun), 20 December 2026 (Sun).
