When is the next Ekadashi in Washington, D.C.?

Aja Ekadashi is observed in Washington, D.C. on 2026-09-07 at local sunrise (06:43 Eastern Time). The India civil date is 2026-09-07.

Why can Ekadashi in Washington, D.C. fall on a different date than India?

The vrat is kept on the morning when Ekadashi tithi is current at local sunrise. Washington, D.C. is on America/New_York, so that morning can be the previous or next civil date versus IST. 9 of the dates in this list fall on a different Gregorian day than the India calendar.

When should I break the Ekadashi fast in Washington, D.C.?

Parana is after sunrise on Dwadashi, in Eastern Time — not after an IST livestream. Confirm the next day's sunrise on the Washington, D.C. Panchang page before breaking the fast.

* Local civil date differs from the India (IST) calendar because Ekadashi tithi at Washington, D.C. 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.

How to keep the vrat here

Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham is the agama anchor for the DMV; Rajdhani Mandir in Chantilly serves the Hindi-speaking belt of Fairfax. Embassy-district Indians often keep IST on their phones — that clock is wrong for a Virginia griha-pravesh muhurat.

Eastern Time with DST. Lanham (SSVT) and Chantilly (Rajdhani Mandir) share the civil date; sunrise differs by a few minutes across the Beltway.
