June 2026 Festival Calendar: Why an Extra Month Moved It

An Adhik Maas (extra month) ran May 17–June 15, 2026, delaying the big Jyeshtha festivals

The heavyweight vrats — Nirjala Ekadashi (Jun 25) and Vat Purnima (Jun 29) — land in the last week

Odisha's three-day Raja Parba (Jun 14–16) celebrates womanhood and the earth's fertility

Muharram/Ashura falls around June 26; Eid al-Adha was already in late May, not June

International Yoga Day on June 21 is the month's biggest secular observance
