Dates and Significance of Padmini and Nirjala Ekadashi Fasts in 2026

In 2026, two significant Ekadashi fasts dedicated to Lord Vishnu will be observed: Padmini Ekadashi on May 27 and Nirjala Ekadashi on June 25. Padmini Ekadashi, occurring during Adhik Jyeshtha, is believed to cleanse sins and bring prosperity, with devotees performing specific rituals and mantras. Nirjala Ekadashi, noted for its strict fast without food or water, is considered highly auspicious, offering spiritual benefits equivalent to all Ekadashis combined. Both fasts include designated timings for worship and breaking the fast.
