Devshayani Ekadashi 2026 Marks Start of Chaturmas with Fasting and Rituals
Devshayani Ekadashi 2026 falls on July 25, marking the start of Chaturmas, a four-month sacred period in Hindu tradition. This day commemorates Lord Vishnu's cosmic sleep, known as Yoga Nidra, during which devotees observe fasting, perform puja rituals, and seek spiritual growth. The fast begins on July 24 and is broken on July 26 during Parana. Chaturmas continues until Prabodhini Ekadashi, when Lord Vishnu is believed to awaken. Observances include prayers, charity, and adherence to spiritual discipline.
