There are 25 Ekadashis in 2027. Nirjala Ekadashi is on Monday, 14 June, Devshayani Ekadashi on Wednesday, 14 July and Prabodhini (Dev Uthani) Ekadashi on Wednesday, 10 November (some almanacs list 9 November). The table lists every Ekadashi with its name and exact tithi timings for New Delhi (IST).
Ekadashi, the eleventh tithi of each lunar fortnight, is the most widely kept vrat in the Vaishnava tradition and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Each of the 24 Ekadashis of a normal year has its own name and katha; 2027 has 25 because two Saphala Ekadashis fall within the calendar year. The date below is the day on which Ekadashi prevails at sunrise, which is the day householders (Smarta tradition) keep the fast.

Notes for 2027
- Vijaya Ekadashi: Ekadashi prevails at sunrise on both 3 Mar and 4 Mar. Householders fast on 3 Mar; Vaishnava calendars keep 4 Mar.
- Kamada Ekadashi: the tithi prevails at sunrise on 17 Apr, but some published almanacs list the Smarta fast on 16 Apr. Follow your family's almanac or your temple's announcement.
- Kamika Ekadashi: Ekadashi touches no sunrise (it runs 29 Jul 7:35 AM to 30 Jul 5:14 AM). Householders fast on 29 Jul; Vaishnava calendars may keep the next day.
- Prabodhini (Dev Uthani) Ekadashi: the tithi prevails at sunrise on 10 Nov, but some published almanacs list the Smarta fast on 9 Nov. Follow your family's almanac or your temple's announcement.
- Vaishnava (ISKCON and similar) calendars also move the fast to the next day when Dashami touches the pre-dawn hour, so their dates can differ from this table in a few months. Follow the calendar of your own sampradaya.
How to keep the Ekadashi vrat
Begin the evening before with a light, grain-free meal. On Ekadashi, avoid rice and grains, keep a fruit, milk or water fast as your health allows, and spend the day in Vishnu puja, the Vishnu Sahasranama or the Ekadashi katha. Break the fast (parana) the next morning after sunrise, within the Dwadashi tithi. Those with a medical condition, pregnant women and elders can keep a lighter phalahar fast; sincerity matters more than severity.
