When is Papamochani Ekadashi in 2027?

What is Papamochani Ekadashi?
The last Ekadashi of the lunar year, falling between Holi and Chaitra Navratri. Its name means 'remover of sins' — and the Bhavishya Uttara Purana story behind it concerns a sage who lost 57 years of penance to an apsara's song, and the fast that freed them both.
Why is Papamochani Ekadashi observed?
The vrat katha, told by Krishna to Yudhishthira, is set in the Chaitraratha forest. Sage Medhavi, a Shiva devotee deep in tapasya, is targeted by Kamadeva, who sends the apsara Manjughosha to break his vow. She sings to her veena from a distance, and Medhavi is lost. He spends 57 years, 9 months and 3 days with her before waking from the spell — and curses her to become a pishachini (a witch-like spirit). His father, the sage Chyavana, prescribes this very Ekadashi as the cure. Both the sage's broken penance and the apsara's curse are dissolved by the fast — which is why the day is called Papa-mochani, the loosener of sins. The phala-shruti claims it cancels even grave sins like brahma-hatya and theft of gold.
Which prarthanas are recited on Papamochani Ekadashi?
