This is Ekadashi — observed as a fast day across Vaishnava and several Shaiva traditions; many devotees abstain from rice, wheat and pulses.

How astrologers read this date
In Vedic muhurta practice, three pieces of information are checked first: the tithi (Ekadashi), the nakshatra (Purva Phalguni) and the weekday (Monday). For Monday, 27 April 2026, that combination produces a vrat (fasting) day.
- Marriage muhurtham: the basic check is not favourable on this date; consult an astrologer for a different date.
- House-warming (gruhapravesham): the nakshatra is acceptable but not classically preferred.
- Vehicle purchase / new business: the weekday is mixed; pick a clear muhurta within Abhijit.
- Travel: the nakshatra is fixed/sharp — non-essential travel may be deferred.
The above is a quick rule-of-thumb based on classical muhurta tables. Regional traditions (Tamil, Kerala, Bengali, Maharashtrian) sometimes weigh things differently — for binding decisions, consult a qualified astrologer with your janma rashi and lagna.
