In 2026, the month of Jyeshtha, which starts on May 2, will be particularly special for devotees due to the occurrence of Adhik Maas, resulting in four Ekadashi fasts instead of the usual two. The fasts are scheduled for Apara Ekadashi on May 13, Padminee Ekadashi on May 27, Parama Ekadashi on June 11, and Nirjala Ekadashi on June 25. This rare alignment is believed to enhance the spiritual merits of prayers, fasting, and charity. Each Ekadashi has its unique significance: Apara Ekadashi is associated with cleansing sins and inviting blessings from Lord Vishnu; Padminee Ekadashi is said to bring happiness and prosperity; Parama Ekadashi is linked to wealth and liberation from hardships; and Nirjala Ekadashi, the most rigorous, is believed to grant the benefits of all Ekadashis observed throughout the year. Devotees are encouraged to observe these fasts with faith and proper rituals to achieve spiritual growth and inner peace.
