Vrat – Tyohar (Festivals)

The Thakur Prasad Calendar November 2026 highlights several important vrats (fasts) and tyohaars beyond the grand festivals. Devotees observe Ekadashis, such as Prabodhini Ekadashi, which marks Lord Vishnu’s awakening, and other monthly fasts like Purnima Vrat and Amavasya for peace and prosperity. Pradosh Vrat and Sankashti Chaturthi are also observed, dedicated respectively to Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha. These vrats guide devotees towards self-discipline, devotion, and spiritual purification. While festivals bring joy and togetherness, vrats in November provide opportunities for penance, prayer, and connecting deeply with divine energies, making this month spiritually fulfilling and balanced.
