Frequently Asked Questions
When is Amalaki Ekadashi in 2027?
Amalaki Ekadashi 2027 falls on Thursday, 18 March 2027. Ekadashi tithi runs from 04:21 AM, 18 Mar to 01:51 AM, 19 Mar IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Amalaki Ekadashi?
The one Ekadashi when devotees worship a tree. Falling on Phalguna Shukla 11 between Maha Shivaratri and Holi, Amalaki Ekadashi honours the amla (Indian gooseberry) tree, believed to be the dwelling of Vishnu. A water pot is placed beneath it and an all-night vigil kept.
Why is Amalaki Ekadashi observed?
The story comes from the Brahmanda Purana: sage Vashishtha tells King Mandhata how a hunter who killed birds for a living once stumbled upon King Chitraratha of Vaidisha keeping an Amalaki Ekadashi vigil. Hiding nearby through hunger, the hunter unwittingly stayed awake all night before the amla tree. That accidental merit was enough — he was reborn as Prince Vasuratha. The ritual flows from this lore. Devotees install a kalasha (water pot) at the foot of an amla tree and address the tree as Dhatri, the form said to have sprung from Brahma. Lord Parashurama is invoked to sit beneath it. The fruit itself is held to have fallen from Vishnu's mouth, which is why amla — not flowers or grains — is the day's offering. The merit promised equals gifting a thousand cows.
What are the other names for Amalaki Ekadashi?
Amalaki Ekadashi is also known as Amla Ekadashi.
