Jyeshtha Adhik Purnima 2026 The full moon of the Jyeshtha month, known as Jyeshtha Adhik Purnima, will occur on May 31, 2026, which is the day after today. This celestial event is considered highly auspicious, as the moon will be in its complete form, showcasing all 16 of its lunar phases. In Hindu tradition, this day is revered as a symbol of energy and spiritual growth. It is believed that offering prayers to the moon on this day can bring mental peace and domestic harmony. Additionally, performing rituals for Lord Vishnu on this occasion is said to grant desired outcomes and alleviate planetary afflictions. In Hinduism, the full moon holds special significance, particularly for worshipping the moon, Lord Vishnu, and ancestors. Jyeshtha Adhik Purnima is considered even more sacred because it is a rare occurrence, happening only once every three years. This year, the event will fall on May 31, 2026, which is a Sunday.

A deity or image of Lord Vishnu should be placed on a platform. The deity should be bathed with Gangajal (holy water from the Ganges), and yellow flowers should be offered. A ghee lamp should be lit in front of the deity, along with tulsi leaves and a dish of khichdi (a traditional dish). Yellow-colored offerings, such as yellow flowers or sweets, are also recommended.
