When does the Hindu date change? (tithi timeline)
In the Hindu calendar the weekday changes at sunrise, but the tithi can change at any hour. The tithi running at sunrise gives the day its name. Timeline on the English clock, from the official Rashtriya Panchang (all times IST):
| Time (English calendar) | What changes (Vikram Samvat panchang) |
|---|---|
| Monday 21 Sep, 8:01 PM | Dashami ends. Ekadashi begins. Karana Vanija begins. |
| Tuesday 22 Sep, about 6:19 AM (Ujjain sunrise) | Tuesday begins. The tithi at sunrise is Ekadashi, so 22 September is the Ekadashi day. |
| 7:07 AM | Nakshatra Uttarashadha ends. Shravana begins. |
| 8:57 AM | Karana Vishti begins (traditionally avoided for starting new work). |
| 4:29 PM | Yoga Atiganda ends. Yoga Sukarma begins. |
| 9:44 PM | Ekadashi ends. Dwadashi begins. Vishti ends, Bava karana begins. |
| Wednesday 23 Sep, 5:35 AM | The Sun enters tropical Libra (equinox). |
| Wednesday 23 Sep, about 6:19 AM | Wednesday begins. The tithi at sunrise is Dwadashi. |
In simple words: on Tuesday 22 September, Ekadashi is in force all day until 9:44 PM. After 9:44 PM, Ekadashi ends and Dwadashi begins.

About the day: Parsvaparivartani Ekadashi
Ekadashi is the 11th tithi of a lunar fortnight, and many families keep a simple fast or eat light food on this day. The Rashtriya Panchang lists Parsvaparivartani Ekadashi on 22 September and also lists Dol Gyaras, a festival observed in Madhya Pradesh. Observances vary by family and community, so please follow your own tradition.
Coming up
- 23 September: Dwadashi. The book lists Vamana Jayanti on this date.
- 25 September: Anant Chaturdashi and main Ganesh Visarjan. See our Ganesh Visarjan guide.
- 26 September: Pitru Paksha begins. See our Pitru Paksha guide.
How we checked these times
The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana times come from the official Rashtriya Panchang 1948 Saka (2026–27) of the Positional Astronomy Centre, India Meteorological Department. The book gives times for all of India in IST and has no separate Ujjain table, so the Ujjain sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kalam and muhurat times are calculated for Ujjain and checked with our own astronomical calculation. Please follow your family’s or temple’s panchang for religious observances.
