Shattila Ekadashi, a significant Hindu fasting day, will be observed on January 14, 2026. This year's observance is considered exceptionally auspicious due to the rare celestial alignments of Sarvartha Siddhi Yog and Amrit Siddhi Yog. These yogas are believed to amplify the spiritual and material benefits of fasting and worship, promising prosperity, fulfillment of desires, and divine blessings from Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. The observance involves six sacred uses of sesame seeds, reflecting the day's name and its purification rituals during the Magh month.
