Chaturmas 2026: Today the fast of Devshayani Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Ashadh month is being observed. With this, Lord Vishnu has gone into Yoga Nidra and the four month Chaturmas has begun. This time is considered to be the sleeping time of Lord Vishnu and the gods. At this time Lord Vishnu rests in the underworld of demon king Bali. Now Lord Kartik will wake up on 20th November on the day of Devuthani Ekadashi of Shukla and Chaturmas will end on this day. Since Devshayani Ekadashi i.e. Chaturmas has started from today, all other auspicious works have also been banned for four months.
During the resting time of Lord Vishnu, all auspicious works including marriage are stopped for four months, because it is believed that auspicious works done at this time do not yield auspicious results. However, in the Chaturmas starting from Devshayani Ekadashi, there is no restriction in worship, chanting, penance and meditation, rather the results of worship during this time are manifold. This is the reason that even after getting absorbed in Yoga Nidra on Devshayani Ekadashi, there is no effect in worshiping God and fasting, but since Chaturmas has started from today, let us know which auspicious works should be avoided in the next four months?
Do not do this auspicious work in Chaturmas
wedding marriage: There is a complete ban on marriages during Chaturmas, because it is considered the time of sleep of the gods. Blessings and presence of Gods are necessary in auspicious activities like marriage, hence do not get married even by mistake during this time.
Home Entrance: In the scriptures, it is prohibited to enter a new house during Chaturmas, hence it is advised not to enter the house during this period. During this time, entering the house and moving to a new house can bring many problems in life.
Mundan Sanskar: It is prohibited to shave a small child during Chaturmas. Lord Vishnu rests at this time, hence this is a time of devotion and meditation and not of worldly celebrations.
Thread ceremony: Upanayana Sanskar is also considered prohibited during the time of Chaturmas. Do not perform Upanayana Sanskar during this time.
Other auspicious works: Apart from these auspicious works, naming, engagement, Bhoomi Pujan, construction of new building, big auspicious ceremonies and other auspicious works are also avoided in Chaturmas.
