- NO weddings or engagements (until Prabodhini Ekadashi, November)
- NO thread ceremonies or sacred initiations
- NO house entry ceremonies (Griha Pravesh)
- Spiritual practices are ENCOURAGED—fasting, meditation, and worship are most auspicious

Festivals & Sacred Days in June 2026
- Jyeshtha Purnima (Jun 3): Full Moon in Jyeshtha; Vat Savitri Puja day for married women wishing long marital life. Excellent day for all ritual worship.
