When is Ekadashi in January 2026?
Shattila Ekadashi: India Jan 14, USA CT/MT/PT Jan 13, ET Jan 14; Jaya Ekadashi: India Jan 29, USA Jan 28.
Which Hindu month is January 2026?
Pausha and Magha, in Vishvavasu 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.
