2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Monday, July 9, 1764 · Begins 6:22 AM (Sunrise)

Complete fast from sunrise to sunrise (water-only, fruits, or Nirjala as per capacity). Continuous prayer, chanting, and night vigil (Jāgaraṇa).

3

Dvādaśī · Breaking the Fast (Pāraṇā)

Tuesday, 10 July 1764 · Pāraṇā Window: 6:22 AM – 9:35 AM
