Sant Eknath Shashthi will be celebrated on Monday, March 9, 2026. It falls on the Phalguna Vadya Shashthi according to the traditional Hindu calendar.

On certain Wednesdays or when specific inauspicious yogas (like Vyatipata) align with the mid-day, the Abhijit Muhurat is considered void or not applicable. Today is one such day; it is better to avoid starting highly auspicious new ventures during the mid-day.

Currency notes with serial numbers containing 111 (flow), 777 (luck), 808 (business growth), or starting and ending with 9 are considered lucky charms for wealth attraction.

Because today is both Thursday (dedicated to Lord Vishnu/Jupiter) and Amavasya (dedicated to ancestors), you should offer water mixed with black sesame seeds to a Peepal tree. Additionally, applying a turmeric (Haldi) or saffron (Kesar) tilak on your forehead will bring clarity, wealth, and success.
