About Nirjala Ekadashi

14 June 2027

Nirjala Ekadashi falls on Jyeshtha’s bright eleventh day, soon after Ganga Dussehra. Its name means without water—the strictest popular form of the Vishnu Ekadashi vow. Puranic lore links the day with Bhima, who received permission to keep one powerful Ekadashi in place of all others. Charity of water and cooling gifts suits the fierce summer heat. Madhuma’s festival essentials help you set a clean Vishnu altar; always match fasting intensity to medical advice and family wisdom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers for shopping Nirjala Ekadashi essentials.

Classical observance is without water, but health comes first. Elderly, pregnant, and ill devotees should soften the fast with family or medical guidance.

Stories say Bhima received this single powerful Ekadashi so he could gain the fruit of all Ekadashis without fasting twice each month.

On Dwadashi during the recommended parana period after sunrise—check a New Delhi or local Panchang for the window.

Ganga Dussehra on Jyeshtha Dashami usually falls the day before Nirjala; many combine river remembrance with the coming Ekadashi.
