Papmochani Ekadashi · पापमोचनी एकादशी
Papmochani Ekadashi is the Ekadashi of the waning fortnight of Chaitra in the purnimanta calendar (Phalguna in the amanta calendar), the last Ekadashi of the Hindu lunar year. Its name means 'the remover of sins'.
Dates
Dates and times are for New Delhi (Asia/Kolkata). They can differ in other places, especially outside India, and between traditions.
How the date is determined
Chaitra (purnimanta) / Phalguna (amanta) Krishna Ekadashi, by the Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi rules.
Devotees fast (from grains, or fully), worship Vishnu and recite his names, and break the fast the next morning within the parana time.
Regional and tradition differences
As with every Ekadashi, Smarta and Vaishnava calendars sometimes keep it on consecutive days; both dates are shown where they differ.
