April Ekadashi List 2026: In April, fasts will be observed on Varuthini Ekadashi and Mohini Ekadashi of Vaishakh month to worship Lord Vishnu. The importance of Ekadashi in the month of Vaishakh doubles because this month is very dear to Lord Madhusudan (Vishnu ji). According to Skanda Purana, the significance of Vaishakh month is that it is the best among all months, which destroys sins and provides inexhaustible fruits (Akshay Tritiya).
Varuthini Ekadashi is on 13 April 2026, while Mohani Ekadashi fast will be observed on 27 April 2026.
