Vaikuntha Ekadashi (Mukkoti) 2026 falls on Saturday 19 December 2026 in Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose, Fremont, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Pleasanton and 10 more; Sunday 20 December 2026 in Chicago, Dallas, New York, Atlanta, Irving, Plano, Frisco, McKinney and 63 more. In India it is on Sunday 20 December 2026 – the date differs because the deciding tithi reaches the local part of the day on another calendar date. The rule: The sukla ekadashi (smarta day) that falls while the Sun is in sidereal Dhanus (Dhanurmasam); Margashira or Pushya sukla ekadashi. The table gives the date for each city with the deciding window and the tithi in local clock time (daylight saving applied), all computed from the NASA/JPL ephemeris for the city's own sunrise and sunset, never converted from IST.
