Sawan Putrada Ekadashi 2026: Date, Significance, and Observance Details
Sawan Putrada Ekadashi 2026 falls on August 23 and is observed primarily to seek blessings for conceiving children, traditionally sons, as per the story of King Suketumaan in the Padma Purana. Devotees worship Lord Vishnu and sometimes Lord Shiva during this auspicious time in the month of Sawan. While the fast is linked to having a son, couples wishing for a daughter can also observe it with prayers for a healthy child. The fasting date varies by tradition, with most observing it on August 23 and some Vaishnava followers on August 24, with specific timings for rituals and breaking the fast.
