Ashadha Month 2026 Begins with Devshayani Ekadashi and Spiritual Observances
The Hindu month of Ashadha begins on June 30, 2026, lasting until July 29, and is marked by significant festivals such as Devshayani Ekadashi and Guru Purnima. It holds spiritual importance, especially in Vaishnavism, as Lord Vishnu is believed to enter Yoga Nidra, initiating the Chaturmas period of devotion and self-discipline. Ashadha coincides with the monsoon season, symbolizing renewal and prosperity, and encourages practices like fasting, prayer, charity, and meditation.
