Kamika Ekadashi 2027 (also called Kamika Ekadasi) falls on Thursday, 29 July 2027. From the Padma Purana — the Ekadashi that grants freedom from all past sins including inadvertent killing (which is considered otherwise unatoneable). Named "Kamika" (fulfilling desires) because observing this vrat is said to bring about the desired fruits of any legitimate wish. Yudhishthira asked Sri Krishna about this Ekadashi's glories, and Krishna narrated its power to purify the observer of even Brahma-hatya (killing of a brahmin). Falls in the peak-monsoon month of Shravana — a highly auspicious tapasya window. Primary observance: Ekadashi vrat (fasting), Tulasi puja + Tulasi archana (offering leaves one by one with Vishnu names), Vishnu Sahasranama + Kamika Vrata Katha (Padma Purana) recitation, ghee lamp (deepa-daana) offering — considered especially fruitful, night jagaran with Vishnu bhajans, parana in Dwadashi window. Recommended muhurat: Parana window 30 Jul 05:37 – 08:20 IST · Dwadashi ends 30 Jul 18:00 IST (Hyderabad).
