Nirjala Ekadashi 2026: Today is the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha month. There is a religious belief that this one fast gives the virtuous results of the Ekadashi fasts of the whole year. Description of its glory is found in the scriptures, Puranas as well as Mahabharata. According to the legend, Pandu’s son Bhima had observed the fast of Nirjala Ekadashi on the advice of Vedvyas ji, so that he could get the virtuous results of all the Ekadashi fasts.
For this reason this Ekadashi is also called Bhimseni Ekadashi. On this day, devotees observe a strict waterless fast and ritually worship Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of the world. There is a religious belief that by worshiping and fasting on this day one attains salvation after death. Along with worship and fasting, some special measures are also taken on this day. Deepak’s remedies are included in these. Be sure to light lamps at these four places in the house this evening.
Light lamps at these places in the evening on Nirjala Ekadashi
Main doors: This evening on Nirjala Ekadashi, light a lamp on the right side of the door frame of the main door of the house (when you are leaving the house). Keep this lamp facing south direction. By doing this negative energy does not come into the house.
Lakshmi Temple: If possible, then go to Lakshmi temple today and light a lamp at the feet of God.
Below Peepal: Be sure to light a lamp under the Peepal tree this evening. Peepal is considered a very sacred tree. It is said in the scriptures that Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh i.e. the Trinity reside in Peepal. It is believed that by lighting a lamp under this tree, even the biggest problems can be averted.
North East Direction: This evening, definitely light a lamp in the north-east direction of the worship place or house i.e. in the north-east corner. By doing this, Mother Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu are pleased. With his grace, happiness, prosperity and wealth increases in the house.
