Jyeshtha Month 2026 Begins May 2, Extended by Adhik Maas with Key Rituals

In 2026, the Hindu month of Jyeshtha begins on May 2 and extends nearly 60 days due to an Adhik Maas (intercalary month), lasting until June 29. This month is spiritually significant, dedicated to worshipping deities like Surya, Hanuman, Varuna, and Vishnu. Devotees observe charitable acts such as donating water and essentials, offer prayers, and follow dietary guidelines favoring light, non-spicy food. Key observances include Bada Mangal and Nirjala Ekadashi, with spiritual benefits believed to multiply during this period despite the intense summer heat.
