Frequently asked questions about the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar 2025
How many festivals and vrats does the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar list in 2025?
The Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists 26 dates in 2025. The first is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on Friday, 10 January 2025, and the last is Vaikunta Ekadashi on Tuesday, 30 December 2025.
What are the main festival dates in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar for 2025?
The first major observances of 2025 are:
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi - Friday, 10 January 2025
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Friday, 10 January 2025
- Shattila Ekadashi - Saturday, 25 January 2025
- Jaya Ekadashi - Saturday, 8 February 2025
- Vijaya Ekadashi - Monday, 24 February 2025
- Amalaki Ekadashi - Monday, 10 March 2025
Which traditional year does 2025 correspond to in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2025 spans Vikram Samvat 2081 – 2082. The traditional year does not begin on 1 January, so one Gregorian year usually covers the end of one era year and the start of the next.
Did 2025 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2025 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Were there any eclipses in 2025?
2025 had 4 eclipses:
- 14 March 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 March 2025 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 September 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 22 September 2025 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2025?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2025:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 29 March 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 14 May 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 18 October 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 5 December 2025, moving retrograde
Jupiter takes about a year to cross one sign and Saturn about two and a half, so these transits colour the whole year rather than a single week.
Are these 2025 dates the same everywhere?
The dates follow the standard Indian sunrise-based calendar. Because a tithi begins and ends at a fixed moment rather than at midnight, an observance can fall a day earlier or later where sunrise differs - most noticeably outside India. Set your city in the box at the top to see the start and end times in your own local time, and check the daily Panchang for the exact window on the day.
About the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar
A month-by-month list of every Ekadashi of the year - the eleventh-tithi fasting days sacred to Lord Vishnu - including Nirjala, Devshayani, Prabodhini (Dev Uthani), Mokshada / Vaikuntha, Putrada and Saphala, with the name, paksha, lunar month and tithi timing of each.
Each entry lists the festival or vrat with its date, the prevailing tithi, and a short note on the observance. Use the year links to plan ahead into the coming years or to look up a date from the archive.
This list is the festival dates, not the daily five limbs. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and the day's yoga, open the Panchang. Other calendars are on the Calendars index. The story of a fast is under Vrat Katha.
