Significance of Aja Ekadashi: Rituals and Timings for September 7, 2026

New Delhi, September 6 (Daily Kiran) : Hinduism places great importance on the Panchang, a traditional calendar used to determine auspicious times for various activities, including prayers and rituals. On September 7, 2026, which falls on a Monday, the Ekadashi Tithi of the Bhadrapada month will last until 5:04 PM. This day is dedicated to observing the Aja Ekadashi fast, which is believed to bring relief from sins and promote peace and happiness.

On this day, worship of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi is particularly fruitful. Sunrise is scheduled for 6:14 AM and sunset will occur at 6:35 PM. The moon will rise at 1:55 AM and set at 3:59 PM. According to the Panchang, the sun will be in the Purva Phalguni Nakshatra, while the moon will remain in the Punarvasu Nakshatra until the evening.

The day will feature the Vyatipata Yoga until 6:41 AM, after which the Variyan Yoga will begin. The most auspicious time, known as the Abhijit Muhurta, will be from 12:00 PM to 12:49 PM. Additionally, the Amrit Kaal, a period considered highly beneficial, will last from 3:59 PM to 5:29 PM.

However, caution is advised during the Rahu Kaal from 7:47 AM to 9:19 AM and the Gulika Kaal from 1:57 PM to 3:30 PM. The Yamagand Kaal will occur from 10:52 AM to 12:24 PM. Traditionally, it is recommended to avoid starting new ventures during these times as they are viewed as inauspicious.

On this day, the sun will be positioned in the Leo zodiac, while the moon will be in Gemini. There will be a directional obstacle (Disha Shool) in the east, suggesting that travel in this direction should be avoided. If travel is necessary, specific astrological remedies can be followed to ensure a safe journey.
