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

- 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 Indira Ekadashi in 2027?

What is Indira Ekadashi?
The one Ekadashi whose merit you give away. Falling in Krishna Paksha of Ashwin — right after Pitru Paksha — Indira Ekadashi is kept not for your own moksha but to lift ancestors stuck in Yama's realm. The fast is paired with shraddha offerings on the previous day.
Why is Indira Ekadashi observed?
The katha, told by Krishna to Yudhishthira in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, centres on King Indrasena of Mahishmati. Sage Narada arrives with strange news — the king's late father, though righteous, has slipped into Yama's world after breaking a single Ekadashi vow in life. Narada prescribes this specific Ashwin Krishna Ekadashi as the remedy, with one unusual instruction: dedicate the fruit of the fast to the father, not yourself. That dedication (sankalpa) is what sets Indira Ekadashi apart from the other twenty-three. The ritual runs across three days. On Dashami, the observer performs shraddha and tarpana — water offerings to the ancestors. Ekadashi itself is a grain-free fast with Shaligrama puja. On Dwadashi morning, Brahmins are fed first, and only then does the observer break the fast.
What are the other names for Indira Ekadashi?
Indira Ekadashi is also known as Ekadashi Shradh.
Which prarthanas are recited on Indira Ekadashi?
Vishnu Shodasa Nama Stotram, Dwadashakshara Mantra and Vishnu Shanthakaram Mantra are recited on Indira Ekadashi. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
