Dev Uthani Ekadashi in Dharmasthala

Date and timing in this city

In Dharmasthala, India, Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls on Saturday 21 November 2026. The following year it falls on Wednesday 10 November 2027. These dates are computed for Dharmasthala's own sunrise, in the Asia/Kolkata time zone.

The tithi observed is Kartik Shukla Ekadashi — the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of Kartik. The deity honoured is Vishnu. The occasion marks the day Vishnu awakens, and it is also the day of Tulsi Vivah.

Why the date can differ from India

Panchang dates are not fixed by the calendar alone. Each tithi is calculated from the positions of the sun and moon, and the day on which a tithi is reckoned to fall depends on the sunrise of the place you are observing from. Dharmasthala's sunrise is the reference point for the dates given here.

This is why a single festival can carry more than one date across India. A tithi may begin and end between two sunrises in one region while it spans a different pair of sunrises elsewhere. Local sunrise, and the convention a given panchang follows, decide which civil day is named.

Traditions also differ in how the lunar month is reckoned. Some follow the amanta system, others the purnimanta; Smarta and Vaishnava communities may arrange subsidiary observances differently. Where customs vary, the date of Kartik Shukla Ekadashi itself remains the anchor, and the local panchang is the practical authority. For personal chart questions, consult a qualified jyotishi.

Where and how the community celebrates (general, no venue claims)

Dev Uthani Ekadashi is observed pan-India, and Dharmasthala is no exception. The day is kept as a Vishnu observance, with the awakening of the deity as its central note and Tulsi Vivah as its companion rite.

• Vishnu is the focus of the day's worship.
• The occasion is understood as the awakening of Vishnu.
• Tulsi Vivah is observed as part of the same day.
• The observance is pan-India, so household and community practice in Dharmasthala follows the wider tradition rather than a single local form.

Because the brief does not name specific venues, organisers or events, no particular place of celebration is identified here. Readers in Dharmasthala can follow their family or community custom, and visitors can ask locally about arrangements for the day.

Practical tips

• Confirm the date against a panchang computed for Dharmasthala's sunrise before you finalise plans.
• Note the two years given: Saturday 21 November 2026 and Wednesday 10 November 2027.
• Keep the Asia/Kolkata time zone in mind if you are travelling or joining from abroad.
• If your family follows a particular Smartta or Vaishnava convention, follow that for subsidiary details.
• For anything tied to your own chart, speak with a qualified jyotishi rather than relying on a general date.
