What not to do in Purushottam month: In Sanatan Dharma, Adhikamas is considered a very special, sacred and important month. Adhikamas is also called Purushottam month and Malmas. This month has been dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the protector of the world. Fasting and worshiping Lord Vishnu in this month is considered very auspicious. This time Adhikamaas is going to last from 17th May 2026 to 15th June 2026.
It is not just an extra month, but is considered a special opportunity for spiritual practice and introspection. When the Sun does not enter from one zodiac sign to another, that period is called Adhikamas or Malamas. Every month the Sun changes its zodiac sign (Sankranti), but when the Sun does not change its zodiac sign in any month, then that month is called Adhikamas. Some works are prohibited in this holy month, so let us know about those works.
