Yogini Ekadashi is a Hindu observance dedicated to Lord Vishnu, marked in the Ekadashi tithi of the waning moon (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadha. Sources state that in 2026 it falls on Friday, July 10, 2026. Devotees observe a fast and perform puja rituals to seek Vishnu’s blessings, spiritual purification and relief from past sins. The observance is described as one of the 24 Ekadashis observed each year in the Hindu calendar. According to the provided details, the Ekadashi tithi begins at 8:16 AM on July 10, 2026 and ends at 5:22 AM on July 11, 2026 (as per Drik Panchang). The day’s recommended practices include waking early, taking a holy bath, and offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. Many devotees chant Vishnu mantras, recite the Vishnu Sahasranama, and read or study sacred texts. While some follow a day-long fast with satvik foods such as fruits and milk, others observe a stricter nirjala (waterless) fast depending on their tradition and health. Worship commonly includes offerings such as flowers, tulsi, incense, lamps and bhog.
