Jyeshtha Purnima 2026 observed on June 29 with prescribed rituals and auspicious timings

Jyeshtha Purnima will be celebrated on 29 June 2026, a Monday, according to the Hindu calendar. The full‑moon day runs from the early‑morning muhurta at 04:02 UTC on 29 June until 05:53 UTC on 30 June. Several rare astrological yogas—Savartha Siddhi, Amrita Siddhi, and the conjunction of the principal nakshatra—are said to occur, enhancing the day's auspiciousness.

Traditional observances include a pre‑dawn bath (preferably with Ganga water), wearing clean clothes, and performing puja to Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Shiva and the lunar deity Chandra. Offerings such as sandalwood, rice, fruits, sweets, and tulsi leaves are recommended, along with the chanting of "Om Namo Bhagavate Vāsudevāya Namah." Acts of charity—donating water, food, clothing, or grains to those in need—are also encouraged to attract prosperity and mental peace.

The day is considered especially favourable for worship of Shiva due to the Monday alignment, and participants are advised to avoid conflicts, falsehood, and consumption of meat or alcohol.
