Signifcance of Padmini Ekadashi
Padmini Ekadashi is also known as Kamala Ekadashi, Purushottami Ekadashi, and Adhik Maas Ekadashi. Padmini Ekadashi falls in a rare month called Adhik Maas, which is an intercalary or extra month. It is highly significant for devotion to Lord Vishnu, granting immense spiritual merit, liberation from sins, and fulfillment of desires such as having children.
It is considered equivalent to performing great sacrifices, as it is a rare opportunity to please Lord Shri Narayana and attain salvation.
Devotees of Vishnu typically observe this difficult fast and perform special worship of Lord Vishnu, who is also known as Purushottam, hence it is also called Purushottami Ekadashi.
Why Padmini Ekadashi Comes in Every Three Years?
Padmini Ekadashi is a special Ekadashi that occurs once every three years when an extra month, called Adhik Maas, is added to the Vedic calendar. This year, 2026, Padmini Ekadashi will be celebrated, as it is a leap year according to the Vedic Hindu calendar.
When Will Padmini Ekadashi be held in 2026?
Padmini Ekadashi falls on the date of 27 May, Wednesday 2026.
