Devshayani Ekadashi 2026: Do not commit these 10 mistakes on Devshayani Ekadashi, otherwise poverty will come to your house.

Devshayani Ekadashi Fast 2026: Every year, on the day of Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Ashadh month, devotees of Lord Vishnu observe fast on Devshayani Ekadashi and worship him with rituals. Devshayani Ekadashi is very special, because on this day God leaves the responsibility of maintaining the world for four months and goes to rest in the underworld i.e. Yoga Nidra. After this, Chaturmas of four months starts, which ends on the day of Devuthani Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month. Chaturmas is starting tomorrow from Devshayani Ekadashi.

It will conclude on 20th November on the day of Devuthani Ekadashi. On the day of Devshayani Ekadashi, Lord Vishnu is worshiped and fasted with rituals. There is a religious belief that fasting and worshiping on this day brings happiness in life and after death the soul attains a place at the feet of Shri Hari Vishnu. The rules of worship and fasting on the day of Devshayani Ekadashi are mentioned in the scriptures. One should not commit any mistakes on this day, otherwise the full results of the fast are not achieved and poverty prevails in the house.
