Chaturmas 2026 — When Lord Vishnu Rests

Chaturmas is a sacred four-month period when Lord Vishnu rests in Yoga Nidra. It begins on Devshayani Ekadashi and ends on Devutthana Ekadashi.

Since Lord Vishnu is asleep, auspicious ceremonies like weddings are considered inauspicious. This is a time for inward focus and spiritual practice.

Shravan is most sacred, Bhadrapada has Ganesh Chaturthi, Ashwin features Navratri. Each month has unique significance and festivals.

Fasting, prayers, charity, and dietary restrictions. Ekadashi fasts are especially important. Observe according to your capacity.
