Dev Uthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi 2028: Saturday, 28 October 2028

Dev Uthani (Prabodhini) Ekadashi in 2028 falls on Saturday, 28 October 2028. It is kept on the Shukla Ekadashi of amanta Kartika.

Why Dev Uthani Is on 28 October in 2028

The Shukla Ekadashi begins at 03:47 on 28 October 2028 and ends at 06:21 on 29 October 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Dev Uthani tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 28 October 2028 the Sun rises at 06:30 and sets at 17:38 at New Delhi. The Shukla Ekadashi is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 28 October 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Shukla Ekadashi lasts 26 hours 34 minutes, against 23 hours 16 minutes in 2026 and 25 hours 36 minutes in 2027: a tithi is twelve degrees of the Moon’s gain on the Sun, and the Moon never gains at a steady rate. The day itself runs 11 hours 8 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.

When the Shukla Ekadashi begins, the Moon is in Shatabhisha, ruled by Rahu.

Dev Uthani in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Dev Uthani 2028 comes 13 days earlier in the calendar year than Dev Uthani 2027. Between Dev Uthani 2027 and Dev Uthani 2028 the lunation table has 12 new moons, and twelve lunations fall short of a solar year, so the date moves earlier.

In the 2028 table Dev Uthani comes 5 days after Chhath Puja and 5 days before Kartik Purnima.

Within six days of Dev Uthani in 2028: Chhath Puja (23 October) and Kartik Purnima (2 November).
