Delhi Panchang for Friday, 26 June 2026

Shukla Dwadashi is also presided over by Vishnu, representing completion, sustenance, and divine blessings. This tithi is considered highly auspicious for concluding vows, performing auspicious ceremonies, and breaking fasts observed on Ekadashi. It signifies fulfillment and prosperity. A traditional observance is Parihar Dwadashi, where devotees break their Ekadashi fast at the prescribed time, offering prayers and food to Vishnu, ensuring the full merit of their spiritual discipline.

Shukla Dwadashi, also dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is observed for breaking the Ekadashi fast (Parana) at an auspicious time. Devotees worship Lord Vishnu and perform acts of charity. It is auspicious for starting new ventures, especially spiritual ones, and for concluding important tasks. One must avoid eating before the designated Parana time to fully reap the benefits of the Ekadashi fast. Refrain from consuming non-vegetarian food, alcohol, or tamasic foods. The mantra 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' should be chanted. Dana includes offering food, clothes, or money to Brahmins and the needy, particularly after breaking the Ekadashi fast, for spiritual merit.

Friday is governed by Shukra (Venus), symbolizing love, beauty, and material comforts. Its character is artistic, charming, and diplomatic, influencing relationships and luxury.

Devotees often worship Goddess Lakshmi or observe the Santoshi Ma Vrat, seeking peace, prosperity, and fulfillment of desires. Offering white flowers or sweets and wearing white clothes are common practices to appease Venus.
