Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat
Hindu festivals are tied to a specific Tithi, not a fixed date — so the day shifts every year and even varies slightly across cities.

The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

Inside the app you can:
- Generate your personal Vedic kundali
- Talk to a Jyotisha for guidance around career, relationships or health
- Run kundali matching before fixing a marriage during the festival season
All of this is available inside the Dharmayana app — no fixed schedule, use it whenever you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Utthana Ekadashi Sannyasta in 2026?
Utthana Ekadashi Sannyasta 2026 falls on Saturday, 21 November 2026.
What is Utthana Ekadashi Sannyasta?
The day the Ekadashi vow itself was born. On Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi, a goddess sprang from Vishnu's sleeping body to slay the demon Murasura — Vishnu named her Ekadashi. Devotees who plan to keep Ekadashi fasts for life traditionally begin the vow today.
Why is Utthana Ekadashi Sannyasta observed?
The story comes from the Bhavishyottara Purana, told by Krishna to Yudhishthira. The demon Murasura had defeated the gods, so Vishnu fought him at Badarikashrama and then withdrew to a Himalayan cave to rest. Murasura crept in to kill the sleeping god. A radiant goddess emerged from Vishnu's body — born of his eleven senses — and cut the demon down. Vishnu blessed her: anyone who fasts on her day, the eleventh tithi, will have their sins burned and reach Vaikuntha. That is why this particular Ekadashi is treated as the seed of all the others. The fast is strict — no grains, no pulses, often no water — and is broken the next morning at Dwadashi within a fixed window called parana. Tulsi worship is added because the day falls in Margashirsha, the month Krishna claims as his own in the Gita.
Which prarthanas are recited on Utthana Ekadashi Sannyasta?
Vishnu Shodasa Nama Stotram, Dwadashakshara Mantra and Vishnu Shanthakaram Mantra are recited on Utthana Ekadashi Sannyasta. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
