Nirjala Ekadashi
Nirjala Ekadashi is considered the most important among all Ekadashi fasts observed throughout the year. According to Hindu scriptures, observing a fast on this day alone is believed to provide the spiritual merit equal to observing all 24 Ekadashi fasts annually.
Religious texts also state that mistakes committed during previous Ekadashi fasts are forgiven by observing Nirjala Ekadashi properly. As per the Skanda Purana, devotees who observe a strict waterless fast on this day are believed to attain a place at the feet of Lord Vishnu.

Shani Pradosh Vrat
When Pradosh Vrat falls on a Saturday, it is known as Shani Pradosh Vrat and is considered highly auspicious. Devotees worship Lord Shiva on this occasion to seek relief from obstacles in marriage and family disputes.
It is also believed that observing this vrat helps reduce mental stress and protects devotees from illnesses and enemies.
Mrityu Panchak
Mrityu Panchak will begin from June 6, 2026. These five days are traditionally considered sensitive and inauspicious in Hindu beliefs. It is believed that this period may bring mental stress, recurring family troubles, or other unfortunate situations if important activities are performed during this time.
Vat Purnima Vrat
On the day of Vat Purnima, married women in several parts of India worship the banyan tree and pray for the long life and well-being of their husbands.
The ritual is associated with marital happiness and prosperity. Women also donate traditional suhag items to married women as part of the observance.
