Aja Ekadashi 2026: Aja Ekadashi is being observed on Monday, September 7, with devotees across India observing a fast and offering prayers to Lord Vishnu. The Ekadashi falls during the Krishna Paksha of the Bhadrapada month and is also known as Annada Ekadashi in several traditions.
For devotees, the day is not simply about going without food. It is considered an opportunity to turn inward, remember Lord Vishnu and seek forgiveness for past mistakes. Religious traditions associate the vrat with the removal of sins, spiritual purification and the blessings of Shri Hari.
