When is Ekadashi in April 2026?
Varuthini Ekadashi: India Apr 13, USA Apr 13; Mohini Ekadashi: India Apr 27, USA PT Apr 26, ET/CT/MT Apr 27.
Which Hindu month is April 2026?
Chaitra and Vaishakha, in Parabhava samvatsaram. The month runs new moon to new moon (amanta), as in the Telugu calendar.
Why are some US dates a day earlier?
A festival is fixed by the tithi at sunrise, sunset or moonrise in your own city. The USA is 9½ to 12½ hours behind India, so the same tithi often reaches the right time of day there one local day earlier.
Calculated with Drik Ganita (Lahiri ayanamsa) and cross-checked against leading published panchangams. Confirm important dates with your priest.
