2

Ekādaśī · Day of Fast & Vigil (Vrata)

Friday, May 31, 2289 · Begins 5:52 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, 1 June 2289 · Pāraṇā Window: 5:52 AM – 9:05 AM

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