New Delhi, According to the Vedic almanac (Panchang), Thursday, June 25, 2026, is considered highly significant from a religious perspective. Today marks the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon) in the month of Jyeshtha; on this day, the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi—regarded as the most rigorous yet spiritually rewarding fast of the year—is being observed. The festival of Gayatri Jayanti is also being celebrated today.

A notable feature of the day is the formation of 'Ravi Yoga,' which is considered extremely beneficial for auspicious activities. However, the influence of 'Bhadra' will also prevail for the greater part of the day. Given this, it is essential to be aware of the auspicious timings (Shubh Muhurat) and 'Rahu Kaal' before performing rituals, auspicious ceremonies, or commencing any new venture. Let us take a look at today's complete Panchang.

Nirjala Ekadashi is considered to bestow merit equal to that of all twenty-four Ekadashis. It is believed that observing the fast with proper rituals and worshipping Lord Vishnu on this day eradicates all sins and paves the way for attaining salvation (Moksha). Meanwhile, on the occasion of Gayatri Jayanti, devotees seek to gain spiritual energy by worshipping Goddess Gayatri and chanting her mantras.
