Dev Uthani Ekadashi in Delhi

Date and timing in this city

In Delhi, Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls on Friday 20 November 2026. The following year it falls on Wednesday 10 November 2027. These dates are computed for Delhi's own sunrise, in the Asia/Kolkata time zone, so they are the dates to use if you are observing the vrat in the city.

The tithi is Kartik Shukla Ekadashi. Dev Uthani Ekadashi is the day Vishnu awakens, and it is also the occasion of Tulsi Vivah. The observance is pan-India, so Delhi's celebration sits within a wider pattern rather than standing apart from it.

Why the date can differ from India

Ekadashi is tied to the tithi, and the tithi is tied to the sunrise of the place where you are observing. Because Delhi has its own sunrise, the date computed for Delhi is the one that applies in Delhi. This is why a panchang read for one location should not be assumed to hold for another.

Where traditions differ — North and South, Smarta and Vaishnava, amanta and purnimanta reckonings — the same festival can be listed on slightly different days or described in different ways. Delhi's date above is the one given for this city. For your own chart and your own family's convention, it is best to consult a qualified jyotishi rather than to assume one reading fits all.

Where and how the community celebrates

Dev Uthani Ekadashi is observed across Delhi as it is across India. Devotees keep the Ekadashi vrat, turn their attention to Vishnu, and mark the day as the one on which Vishnu awakens. Tulsi Vivah is part of the observance.

Households and neighbourhoods follow their own customary forms: some keep a full fast, some a lighter one, some join in collective recitation or hearing of the story of the day. Because practice varies by family, community and region, the brief here describes the observance generally and does not name any particular venue, temple or organiser in the city.

Practical tips

• Use the Delhi date — Friday 20 November 2026 — for the vrat in Delhi, and Wednesday 10 November 2027 for the following year.
• Check a panchang computed for Delhi's sunrise rather than a general listing, since the date can differ from place to place.
• Keep to your family's customary way of observing the Ekadashi vrat; traditions differ, and the day does not require a single uniform form.
• If you are unsure how the tithi interacts with your own routine or chart, ask a qualified jyotishi.
• Remember the day's two notes: Vishnu awakens, and Tulsi Vivah is observed.
