Utpanna Ekadashi 2026 falls on Friday, December 4, 2026, during Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha month. Celebrates the divine origin of Ekadashi herself — the goddess who emerged from Lord Vishnu's body to slay the demon Mura. The 'birthday' of all Ekadashis. Ekadashi is the 11th lunar day dedicated to Lord Vishnu — fasting on this day purifies the body and soul.
