SUMMARY:Apara Ekadashi - Fast / No grains
DESCRIPTION:Today is Apara Ekadashi.\nLocation profile: Orlando\, FL.\nTimezone: America/New_York.\nTradition: Drik · Vaishnava.\nWhat to do: Avoid grains\, beans\, lentils\, meat\, eggs\, onion\, garlic\, alcohol\, and heavy tamasic food. Strict observers fast fully\; many households keep fruit\, milk\, or simple sattvic food.\nParana: 24 May\, 5:25 AM - 8:10 AM.\nWhy: May 23\, 2025 is Apara Ekadashi\, also called Achala Ekadashi. It falls on Krishna Ekadashi\, the 11th lunar day of the waning half of the month. The practical observance is simpler than Nirjala: most people avoid grains and beans\, keep the day sattvic\, pray to Lord Vishnu\, and break the fast the next morning during parana. The theme of this specific Ekadashi is cleansing past mistakes\, asking for steadiness\, and using discipline to reset your conduct.\nLocation note: Preview location only. A production build must recalculate tithi\, parana\, sunrise\, and source checks for Orlando\, FL.\nSource: Corrected and checked on Jun 19\, 2026 against Drik Panchang's Ekadashi Dates reference\, Prokerala Panchang\, mPanchang's 2025 Ekadashi list\, and public Drik Panchang-cited summaries. These agree that May 23\, 2025 is Apara/Achala Ekadashi\; Nirjala Ekadashi falls in June 2025.\nLast checked: 2026-06-19.

SUMMARY:Pradosh Vrat - Evening vrata
DESCRIPTION:Today is Pradosh Vrat.\nLocation profile: Orlando\, FL.\nTimezone: America/New_York.\nTradition: Drik · Vaishnava.\nWhat to do: Keep food simple if observing the vrata\; avoid beginning heavy worldly work during the puja window.\nParana: Follow local guidance.\nWhy: Pradosh Vrat is observed near sunset when Trayodashi tithi is active.

SUMMARY:Nirjala Ekadashi - Strict fast
DESCRIPTION:Today is Nirjala Ekadashi.\nLocation profile: Orlando\, FL.\nTimezone: America/New_York.\nTradition: Drik · Vaishnava.\nWhat to do: Strict observers avoid both food and water\; others should follow family\, health\, and guru guidance.\nParana: Follow local guidance.\nWhy: Nirjala Ekadashi is the strict no-water Ekadashi. It is not May 23 in 2025\; it falls in June 2025\, which is why the May 23 screen is labeled Apara Ekadashi instead.\nLocation note: Preview location only.

SUMMARY:Skanda Sashti - Day vrat / Check temple
DESCRIPTION:Today is Skanda Sashti.\nLocation profile: Orlando\, FL.\nTimezone: America/New_York.\nTradition: Drik · Vaishnava.\nWhat to do: If your family or temple observes Skanda Sashti\, keep food simple and sattvic. Many observers avoid meat\, eggs\, alcohol\, onion\, garlic\, and heavy foods\; some keep a partial or full day fast.\nParana: Follow local guidance.\nWhy: For Orlando\, this prototype flags June 19 as a source variant because some public Skanda Sashti references place the June 2026 observance on this date. Treat this as a fasting or simple-food day if your household or temple follows that rule.\nLocation note: Preview location only. A production build must recalculate tithi\, parana\, sunrise\, and source checks for Orlando\, FL.\nSource: Added Jun 23\, 2026 after comparing India/Ujjain Shashthi listings with US-facing Skanda Sashti references. This is a source-backed variant\, not a universal official date\; Orlando-specific adapter verification is still pending.\nLast checked: 2026-06-23.

SUMMARY:Shasti / Skanda Sashti - Check temple / Simple food
DESCRIPTION:Today is Shasti / Skanda Sashti.\nLocation profile: Orlando\, FL.\nTimezone: America/New_York.\nTradition: Drik · Vaishnava.\nWhat to do: Do not treat this as a normal-food day without checking your family or temple rule. If observing Shasti\, avoid meat\, eggs\, alcohol\, onion\, garlic\, heavy foods\, and keep vegetarian or sattvic food\; stricter observers may fast.\nParana: Follow local guidance.\nWhy: June 20\, 2026 should not be hidden as a plain non-fast day. Some sources list Shasti/Skanda Sashti around this date\, while US-local timing may move the practical observance earlier. The safest beginner guidance is: check your temple or family source\, and if they observe June 20\, keep the day simple\, vegetarian/sattvic\, or fast according to your practice.\nLocation note: Preview location only. A production build must recalculate tithi\, parana\, sunrise\, and source checks for Orlando\, FL.\nSource: Orlando preview correction added Jun 23\, 2026. India/Ujjain-style sources list Shashthi on Jun 20\, while US-facing references can place Skanda Sashti on Jun 19. Keep this visible as a variant until the Orlando live adapter verifies it.\nLast checked: 2026-06-23.
