Ekadasi viratham (tradition)

Tradition often pairs ekadasi with Perumal worship and a grain-free fast, with paranai on the following dwadashi in many lineages. This page does not define fasting rules - follow your acharya and temple.

Why calendars disagree

Sunrise tithi vs exact tithi moment, plus Vakya/Drik differences - Vakya vs Thirukanitha. Our pins: methodology guide.
