Ekadashi in Atlanta

Papankusha Ekadashi — local morning 2026-10-21, sunrise 07:48 Eastern Time (India civil date 2026-10-22).

* Local civil date differs from the India (IST) calendar because Ekadashi tithi at Atlanta 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.

The Hindu Temple of Atlanta in Riverdale is the oldest large complex in the Southeast. Telugu families in Alpharetta often keep a second calendar for the BAPS mandir in Lilburn — both Eastern, both local-sunrise, neither IST. Ganesh visarjan in Atlanta creeks is timed to the Georgia solar day.

Eastern Time with DST. Riverdale sunrise is close to Charlotte's, not to New York's; still, the civil date matches the East Coast.
