Ekadasi Dates – 2026

Ekadasi is an important fasting day in Hindu traditions, observed twice a month on the 11th day of both the waxing (Shukla Paksha) and waning (Krishna Paksha) moon. Devotees observe Ekadashi Vrat, perform Vishnu Puja, and chant sacred mantras to seek divine blessings, moksha (liberation), and spiritual upliftment. Fasting on Ekadasi is believed to purify the mind and body, remove past sins, and bring peace and prosperity. The most significant Ekadasis include Vaikunta Ekadasi, Nirjala Ekadasi, and Devutthana Ekadasi.

In 2026, devotees can follow the monthly Ekadasi dates to plan their fasting and spiritual practices. Many Vishnu temples, including Tirupati Balaji and Jagannath Puri, organize special pujas and bhajans on these days. Observing Ekadasi fasting with devotion and meditation is believed to strengthen faith, bring positive energy, and fulfill desires.
