2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Friday, April 11, 1980 · Begins 6:09 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)

Saturday, 12 April 1980 · Pāraṇā Window: 6:08 AM – 9:14 AM
