About this page
Every Ekādaśī with the decision shown: which tithi prevailed at sunrise, viddha at aruṇodaya, when smārta and vaiṣṇava split and why.
- Why do Ekadashi dates differ between calendars?
- Because the nirnaya (decision) depends on which tithi prevails at sunrise and whether the fast is pierced (viddha) at arunodaya — rules from the Dharmasindhu and Nirnayasindhu. Smarta and Vaishnava traditions can split onto different days; VedicSpace shows the full decision chain for every Ekadashi.
