Ekadashi in Toronto

Aja Ekadashi — local morning 2026-09-07, sunrise 06:49 Eastern Time.

* Local civil date differs from the India (IST) calendar because Ekadashi tithi at Toronto sunrise falls on the neighbouring Gregorian day.

Vaishnava calendars sometimes keep a different morning when Dashami is still running at arunodaya, or when the tithi misses a sunrise. That split is a caveat here, not a second published date, until the Drik sheet is signed.

Vishnu Mandir in Richmond Hill, BAPS in Etobicoke and ISKCON on Avenue Road split old Toronto by sampradaya; Peel Region's larger mandirs are covered on the Brampton and Mississauga pages. A 5:25am IST sunrise is 7:55pm the previous evening in Toronto in August, and Janmashtami midnight at ISKCON is Eastern midnight. GTA families with relatives in Gujarat often end up keeping two vrats a year apart in date; only the Eastern-sunrise one is valid here.

Eastern Time with DST (March–November), same switch dates as New York. Richmond Hill sunrise is not Manhattan's — use this page, not a NYC graphic.
