Questions

The count, the month names and the cities.

How many Ekadashis are there in 2028?

25 in New Delhi, counted from the list above. Each links to its month page, which gives the fast day in both traditions and the time to break the fast.

Which month names does this calendar use?

The ones the linked pages use. A dark-fortnight day carries two names: the amānta month, which runs from new moon to new moon, and the pūrṇimānta month, which runs from full moon to full moon and is a month ahead in the dark fortnight. A Purnima has the same name in both.

Why can a festival’s date differ abroad?

Each day is fixed by the tithi at a time of day at the place, such as sunrise, midday or moonrise. The tithi begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but which day’s sunrise or moonrise it reaches depends on the city, so a city far from Delhi can keep a day earlier or later.
