In Sanatan Dharma, every month, date, and festival has its own special spiritual significance. Among these sacred occasions, Nirjala Ekadashi, which falls on the Ekadashi date of the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase) of the month of Jyeshtha, is considered extremely virtuous and auspicious.
Jyeshtha Purnima is also celebrated in many places as Vat Purnima or Vat Savitri Purnima. On this day, married women observe a fast for the long life and unbroken marital bliss (akhand saubhagya) of their husbands and worship the Banyan tree (Vat Vriksha).
Jyeshtha Adhik Amavasya 2026 is a rare and highly auspicious occasion falling on Somvati Amavasya. Know its date, spiritual significance, puja rituals, and the importance of charity, food donation, and Lord Vishnu worship during Purushottam Maas.
In Sanatan Dharma, Ekadashi is considered an extremely sacred and auspicious day dedicated to the worship of Lord Shri Hari Vishnu. Every Ekadashi inspires devotees toward self-purification and devotion. However, when Parama Ekadashi falls during Adhik Maas (Purushottam Maas), its significance becomes even greater.
Purushottam Maas—also known as Adhik Maas (the intercalary month)—is not merely an extra period of time, but a divine opportunity for the elevation of the soul. It is a sacred epoch when even the simplest acts of devotion begin to yield extraordinary fruits. Although the scriptures generally deem this month unsuitable for worldly auspicious ceremonies, Lord Krishna Himself, through His divine grace, bestowed upon it the supreme status of ‘Purushottam Maas.’
In the sacred traditions of Sanatan Dharma, Purushottam Maas holds an exceptionally exalted and auspicious place. This holy month is considered a rare opportunity to receive the special grace of Lord Shri Hari.
In Sanatan Dharma, the full moon day is considered extremely sacred and virtuous. This day is especially fruitful for worshipping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. When this full moon falls in the Purushottam month, or Adhik Maas, its significance increases manifold.
This Purshottam Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and, due to its occurrence in the Adhik Maas (extra monthly period), is considered extremely rare and fruitful.
In the year 2026, a special occurrence of Jyeshtha Adhik Maas is being formed, which is considered highly auspicious from a religious perspective.
Purushottam Maas Mahatmya Katha Chapters 1 to 10 narrate the divine transformation of Adhik Maas into the sacred Purushottam Maas through the blessings of Lord Krishna and Lord Vishnu.
The first Shani Amavasya of the year 2026 falls in the Krishna Paksha of the month of Jyeshtha, making it even more sacred and fruitful. This day is also considered an excellent time to receive the blessings of Shani Dev, satisfy the ancestors, and attain relief from the hardships of life.
Have you ever wondered why certain years in the Hindu calendar feel longer, or why festivals like Diwali and Raksha Bandhan sometimes shift by a few weeks? The answer lies in the mystical and scientifically precise concept of Adhik Maas.
