Nirjala Ekadashi 2026: In Sanatan Dharma, the fast of Ekadashi is considered very sacred. There are 24 Ekadashi fasts observed in a year, but Nirjala Ekadashi is considered to be the biggest Ekadashi. Religious belief is that by observing the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi, one attains the virtue of all Ekadashi fasts. This fast is very difficult, because even consuming water is prohibited in it. According to mythology, Bhimsen had observed a fast on Nirjala Ekadashi. Therefore it is also called Bhimseni Ekadashi.
Every year this fast is observed on the Ekadashi day of Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha month. This year the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi is going to be observed on 25th June. Worship of Lord Vishnu on this day is considered especially fruitful. Due to the effect of fasting and worship on this day, one attains salvation after death and a place in Lord Vishnu’s Vaikuntha Dham. Donating on the occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi also has greater importance. Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi are very pleased by donating on this day.
