Hindu Calendar to See Rare Double Jyeshth Month in 2026
In 2026, the Hindu calendar will feature a rare double Jyeshth month, an event known as Adhik Maas or Purushottam Maas. This occurs approximately every 32 months to reconcile the 11-day difference between solar and lunar years, resulting in a 13-month Hindu year. The extra month, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is considered highly auspicious for spiritual practices like fasting and prayer, though major ceremonies are typically avoided.
