Jyeshtha Month 2026 Features Rare Adhik Maas and Four Ekadashi Fasts

In 2026, the Hindu month of Jyeshtha will be unusually long, spanning nearly 60 days due to the occurrence of Adhik Maas, an extra lunar month starting May 17. This rare alignment results in four Ekadashi fasts—Apara, Padminee, Parama, and Nirjala—offering devotees enhanced spiritual opportunities. The month holds special religious significance, associated with worship of deities like Lord Vishnu, Shani, Surya, and Varuna, with practices including fasting, charity, and ritual bathing believed to bring spiritual merit and purification.
