June 21, 2021 Hindu Panchang: Monday, June 21 will be celebrated as the Ekadashi or the eleventh day of the Shukla paksh in the Jyestha month of the 2078 Vikram Samvant
Hindus follow vedic calender or Panchang, based on the movement of celestial bodies, to determine the day and time. These days are also known as tithis. Each month of 30 days is divided into two pakshs with 15 tithis each. The Shukla Paksh or the waxing phase of moon starts on Amavasya and ends on Purnima, while the Krishna Paksh or the waning phase marks the opposite transition of the moon.
Monday, June 21 will be celebrated as the Ekadashi or the eleventh day of the Shukla paksh in the Jyestha month of the 2078 Vikram Samvant. This day will also be marked as Nirjala Gyaras or Nirjala Ekdashi. As the word suggests, the day is observed as a fast without even drinking water. Another occasion on the day is Gayatri Jayanti.
The day will also be marked as the longest day of the year, as days will start getting shorter in length from June 21 while evenings will get longer.
