A Rare Ekadashi on June 11 Opens India's 2026 Vrat Season

Padmini Ekadashi on June 11, 2026 is rare — it only appears in the extra Adhik Maas, roughly once in three years

Nirjala Ekadashi (June 25) is the toughest fast, kept without water, and is said to count for all 24 in a year

Devshayani Ekadashi (July 25) begins Chaturmas, the four-month window when weddings traditionally pause

Amavasya is for honouring ancestors; Purnima is for charity and worship — Guru Purnima falls July 29

Tithi spans two English dates, so always check the local Parana (fast-breaking) window before you start
