Ekadashi in March 2027

Vijaya Ekadashi on 4 March 2027 · Amalaki Ekadashi on 18 March 2027

Two Ekadashi dates fall in March 2027, 14 days apart. Their tithis run 26.7h and 21.5h, which is why they are not evenly spaced.

Opens at sunrise and closes at the end of Pratahkala, the first fifth of the daylight hours. Dwadashi itself runs until 5 Mar, 9:54 AM.

This tithi covers two sunrises, so there are two valid dates

The Ekadashi tithi runs from 3 Mar, 4:45 AM to 4 Mar, 7:25 AM — long enough that the Sun rises inside it twice. Smarta households keep the fast on 3 March 2027; vaishnavas and most published calendars keep it on 4 March 2027, because an Ekadashi that begins in the last four ghatis before sunrise is touched by Dashami. We show the vaishnava date above.

Are March's tithis unusually long or short?

The variation comes from the Moon's changing speed, which is also why these dates cannot be counted off a fixed cycle.

Why do some calendars show a different date for Vijaya Ekadashi?

Because its tithi covers two sunrises — 3 March 2027 and 4 March 2027 — and both days qualify. Smarta households keep the first, vaishnavas the second, and most published calendars print the second.
