How is Parama Ekadashi observed?

Hear the katha of Sumedha and his wife of Kampilya, whom Kaundinya Muni directed to this vrata, and keep the chosen grain-free Ekadashi; the katha's five-night Pancharatri form is an ascetic option, not a household requirement.

What are the food and fasting rules for Parama Ekadashi?

Avoid grains and pulses. Choose nirjala, water, fruit and milk, or one family-approved phalahar according to your sankalpa, then break gently in the displayed Dwadashi window.

When is the parana — breaking the fast — for Parama Ekadashi?

Use the Dwadashi window shown above. Do not break during Harivasara (the protected first quarter of Dwadashi). Begin gently with water and prasad, then a satvik meal; do not postpone beyond Dwadashi unless your tradition requires it. Smarta and Vaishnava dates can differ, so use the date and paran for your chosen tradition.

How does Parama Ekadashi vary by region?

Smarta and Vaishnava observances can fall on different dates; follow the tradition selected for this calendar. Household fasting ranges from nirjala to phalahar, while grain avoidance remains central.
