Ekādaśī is a three-day discipline. Preparation begins on Daśamī.

2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Saturday, August 30, 1766 · Begins 6:31 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)

Sunday, 31 August 1766 · Pāraṇā Window: 6:31 AM – 9:37 AM

Morning bath, offer charity (dāna) to the needy or Brahmins, and break the fast strictly within the pāraṇā window before Dvādaśī ends.
