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.
Open the Panchanga for the festival day to see the exact Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Shubh Muhurat for pooja in your location.
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 Nirjala Ekadashi in 2027?
Nirjala Ekadashi 2027 falls on Monday, 14 June 2027. Ekadashi tithi runs from 02:12 AM, 14 Jun to 02:08 AM, 15 Jun IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Nirjala Ekadashi?
The one Ekadashi where even water is forbidden — falling in Shukla Jyeshtha at the peak of north Indian summer, between Vrishabha and Mithuna Sankranti. Vyasa told Bhima that this single fast carries the merit of all twenty-four Ekadashis in a year.
Why is Nirjala Ekadashi observed?
The Brahma Vaivarta Purana tells the story behind the alternate names. Bhima admitted to his grandfather Vyasa that he could worship and give donations, but could not stay hungry even for a single meal. Vyasa offered him one escape clause — fast just once a year, in Shukla Jyeshtha, but without a drop of water. Because this date lands in the hottest weeks of the year, the rituals are shaped by thirst. The signature daan is a pot of water, covered with a cloth and topped with gold, given to a worthy recipient. Hand fans, umbrellas, sandals and grain are also given to the needy. The rule on water is precise: up to 6 Masha (a pinch) is allowed for Achamana and bathing — anything more is treated like drinking liquor. On Dwadashi morning, devotees offer full water pots to Brahmins before breaking their own fast.
What are the other names for Nirjala Ekadashi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is also known as Pandava Ekadashi, Bhimseni Ekadashi and Bhima Ekadashi.
