Ekadashi kab hai in 2026: Rama on Nov 5, Devutthana on Nov 20, Papankusha on Oct 22

Devutthana Ekadashi falls on November 20, 2026, and Rama Ekadashi on November 5, The Economic Times reports. For the coming fortnight, then, Ekadashi kab hai is not a guess: November 5 for the Rama fast and November 20 for the Devuthani or Dev Uthani fast.

Both November fasts are being tracked with the vrat tithi, shubh muhurat, puja rituals and Parana timings. Devotees treating these as fixed Sundays on the civil calendar should check the tithi instead, because the sources repeatedly return to the same point: the date moves only when the tithi window moves.

November fixes two dates: Nov 5 and Nov 20

The Economic Times names Rama Ekadashi on November 5, 2026 and Dev Uthani Ekadashi on November 20, 2026. The same outlet pairs the dates with vrat tithi, puja muhurat and Parana timings, so the practical routine is unchanged: observe the fast through Ekadashi tithi and break it after Parana.

Rama Ekadashi opens the November pair, and Devutthana closes it. The names point in slightly different devotional directions, but the calendar discipline is the same: the eleventh-day tithi, the fast, the puja, and the timed Parana that ends the fast.

October carries Papankusha on Oct 22

October is not empty. The Economic Times lists Indira Ekadashi and Papankusha Ekadashi for October 2026. Papankusha Ekadashi is specifically dated October 22, with the write-up carrying the date, tithi, Parana time, vrat katha, puja vidhi and significance.

That makes October 22 the next fixed benchmark in this cycle. A devotee marking the year can start there, then move to Rama on November 5 and Devutthana on November 20. The Economic Times frames all three with the same apparatus: tithi, muhurat, puja procedure and Parana timing.

Early 2026 jumps the date by a day

The January answer is tighter. Hindustan Times covers Jaya Ekadashi 2026 around January 28 or 29, settles the correct date, and gives shubh muhurat, Parana time and fasting rules. Jaya Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Krishna; devotees fast and perform rituals on the day.

February and March are just as date-sensitive. India TV treats Amalaki Ekadashi 2026 as February 27 or 28 and gives the tithi timing plus a puja method for devotees who do not have an Amla tree. The fast is observed with devotion to Lord Vishnu and the sacred Amla tree, and the report ties the day to spiritual importance around fasting and charity.

Papmochani Ekadashi 2026 is another March question—March 14 or 15—with India TV pointing to the correct date, auspicious time and method of worship. The same channel states that Ekadashi comes twice every lunar month and that, for many devotees of Lord Vishnu, it is more than a calendar mark: it is a pause for prayer, restraint and fasting.

Later in the year, The Free Press Journal places Yogini Ekadashi on the eleventh day of the waning phase of the moon in Ashadha, dedicated to Lord Vishnu and observed as a fasting day. The Times of India frames Dev Shayani Ekadashi 2026 the same way: a correct-date check before observing the fast and its significance.

The tithi decides ‘Ekadashi kab hai’

The repeated one-day shifts in January, February and March all point back to the tithi boundary. Zee Business gives the 2024 Nirjala Ekadashi as beginning June 17 at 4:43 AM and continuing until June 18 at 6:24 AM. That is the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of the Jyeshtha month, and the fast follows the tithi window, not the date printed on a wall calendar.

Mint identifies Devuthani Ekadashi as the second Ekadashi of the Shukla Paksha in the Kartik month and says it is observed with deep reverence. The pattern across the sources is consistent: a named Ekadashi matters once the tithi, the Parana time and the correct municipal or civil date are aligned.

So when a household asks Ekadashi kab hai, the actionable answer is the tithi window and the Parana time for that month. In 2026, the near-term sequence is Papankusha Ekadashi on October 22, Rama Ekadashi on November 5 and Devutthana Ekadashi on November 20.
