You should strictly avoid offering Tulsi leaves, Kumkum (Vermilion), Haldi (Turmeric), and Ketaki/Kewra flowers to the Shiva Lingam. These are forbidden in Shiva Puja.

In 2026, Papmochani Ekadashi falls during the Kharmas (or Malmas) period, which begins when the Sun enters Pisces. While worldly celebrations like marriages are banned during Kharmas, it is considered the most powerful time of the year for worshipping Lord Vishnu. Observing a fast and performing charity on this day yields Akshaya Punya (endless merit).

While all dates have potential, Group 1 (1, 5, 10, 14, 19, 23, 28) will see the most public recognition and leadership success, while Group 3 (3, 7, 12, 16, 21, 25, 30) will see the most financial stability.

You should offer Arghya (Water) mixed with Roli (Red Vermilion), Rice (Akshat), Sugar/Jaggery, and Red Flowers. For food (Bhog), Kheer made from wheat or rice is considered highly auspicious.
