Dates are the main (Smarta) fasting day for India, from Drik Panchang's list for New Delhi. When Ekadashi touches two sunrises, panchangs list a second day, usually kept by Vaishnavas and ISKCON; these are noted. Follow your own temple's calendar if it differs.
What is Ekadashi?
Ekadashi is the eleventh lunar day of each fortnight. It is sacred to Vishnu and Krishna. Devotees fast from grains and beans (some keep a complete or waterless fast), chant, read scripture and stay awake late, then break the fast the next morning, on Dwadashi, within the parana window given in the panchang.
Ekadashi in Vrindavan
Ekadashi is the traditional day to walk the Vrindavan Parikrama. Thousands set out before dawn, many fasting. Temples hold special darshan and kirtan, and many shops sell only fasting food: fruit, sabudana, singhara and kuttu flour.

Why are there two dates for some Ekadashis?
When the Ekadashi tithi spans two sunrises, panchangs give a second day; Vaishnava traditions often fast on the later one.
