On Friday, July 10, 2026, the rare Krishna Paksha Ekadashi of Nija Ashadha arrives. The Padma Purana tells the story of Hemamali — the Yaksha gardener of Bhagavan Kubera in Alaka, whose single morning of distraction with his wife Vishalakshi cost him his form, his wife, and his celestial city.

A guide to what the next four weeks hold and what the household that kept Purushottam Maas now carries forward.
