Puja Path in Jyeshtha Month 2026: According to the Hindu calendar, in the year 2026, the month of Jyeshtha has started from 2nd May i.e. today Saturday, which will continue till 31st May. Actually, this time there is a coincidence of Adhikamaas, so Jeshtha will last for two months. It is the third month of the Hindu calendar and is known for its scorching heat. According to mythological beliefs, the month of Jyeshtha gives the message of conservation of water and expressing gratitude towards nature. In this month, great festivals like Ganga Dussehra and Nirjala Ekadashi come, which make us understand the importance of restraint and charity.

At this time, Sun God heats with his full power, hence this month is called 'Jyeshtha' i.e. big. Religious works and charity done in this holy month provide mental peace and inexhaustible virtue to the person.

Special importance of worship of Sun and Varun Dev

In the month of Jyeshtha, there is maximum tradition of worshiping Sun God and Varun Dev because at this time the heat is at its peak, hence worshiping Varun Dev, the god of water and giving water to thirsty creatures is considered the greatest virtue. It is mentioned in the scriptures that the influence of Sun God increases a lot in this month, due to which there is shortage of water in nature. In such a situation, not wasting water and cleaning the reservoirs becomes a religious duty. The main objective of the fasts and pujas performed during this period is to teach man self-control and to remain powerful in difficult situations. By the grace of Varun Dev, coolness and happiness and prosperity come in life.

Time to seek the blessings of Hanuman ji and Shani Dev.

There is also a deep connection between the worship of Hanuman ji and Shani Dev in the month of Jyeshtha. According to religious legends, special worship of Hanuman ji is done on the first day of this month because it was during this time that he met Lord Ram for the first time. Also, Shani Jayanti is celebrated on Jyestha Amavasya, which marks the birth anniversary of Shani Dev. By worshiping these two deities, most of the troubles in the life of the devotees go away and the inauspicious effects of the planets are calmed down. Hanuman ji is very fond of organizing Bhandara especially on the occasion of Bad Mangal and giving cold water or sherbet to the people. This increases courage and spirit of service within the person.

Main rules of Jyeshtha month and results of charity

Food and rest: To take care of health, one should eat light and simple food once a month. Also, it is advisable to avoid sleeping during the day.

Donation of cold things: It is very auspicious at this time to donate things that provide relief from the scorching heat, like a pitcher filled with water, a fan, an umbrella and sattu.

Glory of Nirjala Ekadashi: The fast of Nirjala Ekadashi of Jyeshtha is considered the biggest. By observing this fast without drinking water, one gets the virtue of all the Ekadashis of the year.

Sense of Help: This month teaches us that no matter how difficult the times are (hot summer), we should not lose our patience and should be ready to help others.

Blessings and prosperity: The person who serves and donates to the needy with open heart in this month, all the troubles go away from his house and the times to come remain pleasant.
