Chhath Puja 2026 — Date and Key Rituals
Chhath Puja 2026 has its main Sandhya Arghya on Sunday, November 15. This ancient Vedic festival is dedicated to Surya (the Sun God) and Chhathi Maiya and is observed with extraordinary discipline and devotion. Devotees observe a strict fast for 36 hours, stand in water bodies at sunset and sunrise, and offer Arghya (sacred offerings) to the rising and setting sun.
Chhath Puja holds immense importance for families from Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and the Nepali Hindu community. It is one of the few Vedic festivals that has no idol worship and is performed entirely in nature, making it one of the most environmentally connected Hindu observances.
Prabodhini Ekadashi and Tulsi Vivah 2026 — The Most Important Day of November
November 20, 2026 (Friday) is arguably the single most important date of the entire month and possibly of the second half of 2026. Two major events happen on this day.
The first is Prabodhini Ekadashi, also called Dev Uthani Ekadashi. This is the day Lord Vishnu wakes from his four-month cosmic sleep (Yoga Nidra) and the Chaturmas period officially comes to an end. From this day onward, all auspicious ceremonies including weddings, engagements, and housewarmings are permitted again after a gap of four months.
The second event is Tulsi Vivah, the ceremonial marriage of the Tulsi plant (Holy Basil) to Lord Shaligram (a form of Lord Vishnu). This ritual is performed on the evening of Ekadashi after the fast is broken and is considered one of the most sacred acts a Hindu family can perform. In many households, Tulsi Vivah is treated with the same grandeur as a real wedding ceremony, complete with rituals, music, and community participation.
Dev Deepawali and Kartik Purnima 2026
Kartik Purnima 2026 falls on Tuesday, November 24. This Full Moon of the Kartik month is one of the holiest days in the Hindu calendar. In Varanasi, this evening is celebrated as Dev Deepawali — the Diwali of the Gods — when all the ghats of the Ganges are illuminated with thousands of earthen lamps in an unbroken line of light. It is believed that on this night the gods themselves descend to bathe in the Ganges.
November 24 is also Guru Nanak Jayanti, the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism and one of the most revered spiritual figures in Indian history. This day is celebrated with enormous devotion by the Sikh community worldwide.
Ekadashi Dates in November 2026
November 2026 has two Ekadashi fasting dates, and both carry deep spiritual significance in the Vaishnav tradition.
| Date | Day | Ekadashi Name | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 5, 2026 | Thursday | Rambha Ekadashi | Falls in Kartik Krishna Paksha. Fasting on this day is believed to grant the spiritual merit equivalent to performing a Rajasuya Yagya, one of the grandest Vedic ceremonies |
| Nov 20, 2026 | Friday | Prabodhini Ekadashi (Dev Uthani Ekadashi) | The most important Ekadashi of the year. Lord Vishnu awakens from Yoga Nidra, Chaturmas ends, and all auspicious activities resume. Tulsi Vivah is performed on this same evening |
Vivah Muhurat (Wedding Dates) in November 2026
