Vijaya Ekadashi is celebrated as one of the most powerful fasts in Hinduism, believed to grant success in all spheres of life. As we approach 2026, devotees are eager to know the exact schedule for this sacred day. According to the Hindu calendar, the Ekadashi Tithi begins at 12:22 PM on February 12 and concludes at 02:25 PM on February 13. Following the Udaya Tithi tradition, the fast for Vijaya Ekadashi 2026 should ideally be observed on February 13. Auspicious Timings: For performing the Puja, the Brahma Muhurta (5:11 AM to 6:06 AM) and the Abhijit Muhurta (12:45 PM to 1:25 PM) are considered highly auspicious. However, for those seeking victory in legal or personal battles, the Vijay Muhurta between 2:46 PM and 3:26 PM is the most effective time. The Parana (fast-breaking) time is scheduled for February 14, between 7:00 AM and 9:14 AM.

Religious Significance: History traces the roots of this Ekadashi to the Ramayana. It is said that Lord Rama performed this ritual on the shores of the ocean to ensure victory over Ravana. Shastras suggest that observing this fast with full devotion is equivalent to performing the Ashwamedha Yajna. Beyond worldly success, this Ekadashi is a spiritual gateway to Moksha (salvation) and helps in cleansing past sins. Whether you are facing career hurdles or personal obstacles, invoking Lord Vishnu on this day is believed to pave the way for ultimate triumph.
