| Fasting Days for the Year
2026 (as per IST) |
 |
|
|
Fasting is very common among most Hindus. They Fast on certain days of the week based on their belief and to appease certain deities.
Fasting indicates the denial of the physical needs of the body for the sake of spiritual gains. According to the scriptures, fasting helps create an attunement with the Absolute by establishing a harmonious relationship between the body and the soul. This is thought to be imperative for the well being of a human being as it nourishes both his/her physical and spiritual demands.
