Utpanna Ekadashi 2027 (also called Utpatti Ekadashi / Ekadashi Devi Jayanti) falls on Wednesday, 24 November 2027. From the Padma Purana + Bhavishya Purana — this is the ORIGIN Ekadashi from which all other Ekadashis descended. Long ago the asura Murasura tried to kill sleeping Vishnu; from Vishnu's body emerged a divine goddess who defeated Murasura in single combat. Vishnu blessed this goddess with the name "Ekadashi" (the 11th tithi) and decreed that anyone observing vrata on this tithi in ANY month would gain the same punya as if they had defeated Murasura themselves. The name Utpanna (= "came into being / originated") commemorates the very birth of the Ekadashi vrata tradition. First-time Vaishnava vrata-observers are advised to begin their Ekadashi practice with THIS specific Ekadashi, which is why it's called the "initiation Ekadashi". Primary observance: Ekadashi vrat (fasting) with special sankalpa if this is the FIRST-EVER Ekadashi vrat being observed (Utpanna is the traditional initiation-Ekadashi), Vishnu Sahasranama + Utpanna Vrata Katha (Padma Purana + Bhavishya Purana) recitation, Ekadashi-Devi puja alongside Vishnu (unique to this Ekadashi), Tulasi puja, ghee lamp offering, night jagaran with Vishnu bhajans, parana inside the 06:33 – 08:47 IST window. Recommended muhurat: Parana window 25 Nov 06:33 – 08:47 IST · Dwadashi ends 25 Nov 10:53 IST (Hyderabad).
