June 2026 Hindu Calendar: Nirjala Ekadashi, Adhik Maas Ends & Shubh Muhurats
Welcome to the Month of Ultimate Devotion and the Return of Auspicious Beginnings!
June 2026 is a highly transitional and sacred month in the Vedic calendar. The first half of the month marks the culmination of the spiritually charged Adhik Jyeshtha Maas (Purushottam Maas), which officially ends on June 15.
Once the Adhik Maas concludes, the regular Nija Jyeshtha month begins, reopening the doors for grand celebrations, weddings, and new home entries. The second half of June is adorned with immensely powerful festivals, most notably Ganga Dussehra and the greatest of all fasts, Nirjala Ekadashi.
Whether you are seeking intense spiritual merit or looking for the perfect date to tie the knot, June has it all. This guide is part of our comprehensive Hindu Calendar 2026 series.

1. The Conclusion of Adhik Maas (June 15)
June 15th marks the end of the rare, once-in-three-years Purushottam Maas. The Amavasya (new moon) day is highly recommended for taking holy baths, offering charity to Brahmins, and performing Pitru Tarpan (ancestor worship) to remove long-standing doshas.
2. Ganga Dussehra (June 25)
Ganga Dussehra celebrates the day the holy river Ganges descended from heaven to Earth. Devotees bathe in the Ganges, offer prayers, and donate water, umbrellas, and food. Worshipping on this day is said to wash away ten specific types of sins (Papa).
3. Nirjala Ekadashi (June 25)
If you can only observe one fast in the entire year, it must be Nirjala Ekadashi. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, this fast requires abstaining from both food and water (Nirjala) for 24 hours. According to scriptures, observing this single Ekadashi grants the blessings and spiritual merit of all 24 Ekadashis of the year combined.
🕉️ Vishnu Puja on Nirjala Ekadashi
Maximize the infinite blessings of Nirjala Ekadashi. Have an authentic Vishnu Sahasranama or Satyanarayan Puja performed at your home by SmartPuja’s expert Pandits.
