Festival observance is tithi- and sunrise-dependent and can shift by a day across longitudes and traditions (Smarta/Vaishnava, regional calendars). Dates here follow the popular North-Indian convention for Delhi. Ekadashis listed on two consecutive days reflect the Smarta and Vaishnava observance days; the same Ekadashi appearing twice in a year marks the adhik (leap) lunar month. Timings for your exact city are in the city panchang and the Bela app.
