Nirjala Ekadashi 2028: Saturday, 3 June 2028

Nirjala Ekadashi in 2028 falls on Saturday, 3 June 2028. It is kept on the Shukla Ekadashi of amanta Jyeshtha.

Why Nirjala Ekadashi Is on 3 June in 2028

The Shukla Ekadashi begins at 19:32 on 2 June 2028 and ends at 17:26 on 3 June 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Nirjala Ekadashi tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 3 June 2028 the Sun rises at 05:23 and sets at 19:15 at New Delhi. The Shukla Ekadashi is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 3 June 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Shukla Ekadashi lasts 21 hours 54 minutes, against 25 hours 57 minutes in 2026 and 23 hours 56 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 13 hours 52 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.

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

Nirjala Ekadashi in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Nirjala Ekadashi 2028 comes 11 days earlier in the calendar year than Nirjala Ekadashi 2027. Between Nirjala Ekadashi 2027 and Nirjala Ekadashi 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 Nirjala Ekadashi comes 1 day after Ganga Dussehra and 21 days before Jagannath Rath Yatra.

Within six days of Nirjala Ekadashi in 2028: Ganga Dussehra (2 June).
