📜 How this date was determined
Ekadashi pervades arunodaya kaal on more than one day (2026-05-25 16%, 2026-05-26 100%) — tithi-vriddhi. The rule named for this festival takes the earlier day. As Ekadashi. Vaishnava: Vaishnava observance is on 26 May 2026. Dashami still holds arunodaya on the smarta day, making that ekadashi viddha — “अरुणोदयवेधवती विद्धा” — which Vaishnavas reject in favour of the dwadashi. Smarta: Smarta observance is on 25 May 2026.
