In January 2026, two Ekadashi fasting days will be observed: Shattila Ekadashi on January 14 and Jaya Ekadashi on January 29. Devotees fast and worship Lord Vishnu on these sacred days, believing it brings mental peace, spiritual strength, and salvation. The observances include specific tithi timings, parana (breaking fast) windows, and traditional rituals like chanting mantras and reading sacred texts.
