Ekadashi Dates In 2019

By Ishi

Every year there are twenty four Ekadashis, two in each month. However, sometimes there is an extra month in the year according to the Hindu Calender. This extra month is known as Adhik Masa/ Purushottam Masa/ Mala Masa. Masa is the Sanskrit and the Hindi word for 'month'. Because of this extra month, two more Ekadashis are added in the year.
