Yogini Ekadashi, a Hindu observance dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is observed in 2026 on Friday, July 10. Sources describe it as falling on the Ekadashi tithi of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Ashadha, with fasting and prayer forming the core of the ritual observance. Devotees traditionally wake early, take a holy bath, and offer prayers to Vishnu. Many observe a day-long fast, while some follow stricter practices such as nirjala (waterless) fasting depending on their tradition and health. During the puja, households and temples may be decorated, and Vishnu idols are worshipped with items such as flowers, tulsi leaves, incense, lamps, and bhog. Devotees chant Vishnu mantras, recite the Vishnu Sahasranama, and read sacred texts. The day is associated with cleansing sins, seeking spiritual merit, and pursuing inner peace and liberation (moksha). One source also notes that the Ekadashi tithi begins on the morning of July 10 and ends in the early hours of July 11, guiding the timing for observance.
