Papmochani Ekadashi 2027 — Friday 2 April
పాపమోచని ఏకాదశి 2027
Chaitra Bahula Ekadashi — the LAST Ekadashi of the Vikram Samvat year; pre-Ugadi Ekadashi · Papamochani Ekadasi · Parana window 3 Apr 06:34 – 08:12 IST · Dwadashi ends 3 Apr 07:56 IST (Hyderabad) — SHORT parana window
Papmochani Ekadashi 2027 (also called Papamochani Ekadasi) falls on Friday, 2 April 2027. From the Bhavishya Purana — Lord Krishna narrated to Yudhishthira the story of sage Medhavi who was seduced by apsara Manjughosha during his tapasya; Medhavi cursed her to become a pisachi, and when Manjughosha begged for release Medhavi advised her to observe Papmochani Ekadashi, by which she was liberated. Named "Papa-mochani" (sin-releaser) because observing this Ekadashi frees the observer from even the gravest sins (brahma-hatya, sura-pana, steya, guru-strī-gamana — the 4 mahā-pātakas). The last Ekadashi of the outgoing year (Vikram Samvat closes at Ugadi) — a natural karmic-cleanse before new year. Primary observance: Ekadashi vrat (fasting), Vishnu Sahasranama + Papmochani Vrata Katha (Bhavishya Purana) recitation, Tulasi puja, sin-confession sankalpa (list past-year regrets and dedicate vrat to their expiation), ghee lamp offering, night jagaran with Vishnu bhajans, parana in SHORT Dwadashi window (parana MUST end by 07:56 IST — set alarm). Recommended muhurat: Parana window 3 Apr 06:34 – 08:12 IST · Dwadashi ends 3 Apr 07:56 IST (Hyderabad) — SHORT parana window.
