Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi: Frequently Asked Questions

Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi, observed on Dwadashi because Ekadashi tithi was Viddha (touched two consecutive sunrises).

Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi 2026 was on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi 2026 date depends on your city, because it is fixed by the local tithi and sunrise. Select your city on this page to see the date, along with the day's full panchang, tithi, nakshatra and auspicious muhurats.

Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi follows the Hindu lunisolar panchang, not the Gregorian calendar. A particular tithi (lunar day) or nakshatra (star) sets its date. The lunar and solar cycles do not line up exactly, so that tithi falls on a different Gregorian date each year.

Not always. The tithi begins and ends at a set moment, read against each city's own sunrise. So Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi can land a day earlier or later in one region than another. This calendar works it out for the city you select.

It comes from the true Drik Ganita (observational) panchang, the same astronomy used for eclipses, instead of older approximate tables. The "how we calculate this" link on the page shows which part of the day decides Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi.
