Why Ekadashi matters
Ekadashi — the eleventh day of each lunar fortnight — is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Observing the day with sattvic conduct, simple food or upavasa according to your health and acharya, turns the mind toward nama and seva.
Parane is taken on Dwadashi. If Dwadashi ends very early, follow the panchanga for that cycle. Vaikuntha Ekadashi in Dhanurmasa is listed above with the other festivals.
Calendar note
Exact Ekadashi dates follow the lunar calendar and can vary by town and sampradaya. This page is a devotional calendar for our mandira — not a substitute for the panchanga of your matha.

About this calendar
Whose panchanga do these dates follow?
Civil dates follow the published Sode Vadiraja Matha panchanga. Madhwa tithi calculations can differ from a generic Hindu calendar. Confirm the day for your town with your matha or family panchanga.
Why do festival dates move each year?
Most observances follow the lunar tithi, not a fixed Gregorian date. The same festival can fall on a different civil day each year, and occasionally a tithi is skipped or stretched. This page lists the civil day observed at Shri Vadiraja Mandira, Chintamani, for the current Hindu year through the next Ugadi.
What is Ekadashi in the Madhwa tradition?
Ekadashi is the eleventh lunar day of each fortnight, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Many devotees keep upavasa according to health and acharya guidance, then take parane on Dwadashi. Vaikuntha Ekadashi in Dhanurmasa is especially observed. This page is a guide, not a substitute for your panchanga.
Which sevas are offered on festival days?
You can book archane, abhisheka, nanda deepa, and prasada-delivered sevas year-round. On Panchami, devotees offer Vadirajara Panchami Vishesha Pooja. On Trayodashi / Pradosha, Bhootarajara Vishesha Pradosha Pooja is performed. Every Monday, Rudrabhisheka is offered to Omkareshwara Maha Rudra Devaru. Gau Grasa Seva (₹500 feeds Gau Mata for a day) can be offered on any festival.
Where is the mandira?
Shri Bhaavi Sameera Vadiraja Mandira is at Thinakallu Village, Ambaji Durga Hobili, Chintamani, Karnataka 563125. The temple is open daily from 6 AM to 9 PM. Call +91 99001 08151.
Walk with the mandira
Mark the day with seva
Book a pooja, offer Gau Grasa, or keep Ekadashi with a quiet mind. Every offering made with devotion becomes a blessing.
