Jal Jhulni Gyaras 2026: परिवर्तिनी एकादशी को जलझूलनी एकादशी क्यों कहते हैं? जानें डोल ग्यारस की अनोखी परंपरा

According to reports from TV9 Bharatvarsh, the upcoming observance of Parivartini Ekadashi, also widely known as Jal Jhulni Gyaras or Dol Gyaras, marks a significant day in the Hindu calendar. The festival is characterized by the tradition of taking idols of Lord Vishnu or Lord Krishna out for a ceremonial 'Jal Vihar,' or water excursion, in decorated palanquins known as 'doles.'

This religious event, which falls during the month of Bhadrapada, is observed with devotion across various parts of India. The term 'Parivartini' signifies the belief that Lord Vishnu changes his posture while sleeping during this period of the Chaturmas. Devotees participate in processions and special prayers, reflecting the cultural importance of these traditions in maintaining community and spiritual bonds.

While the specific date mentioned in the source refers to the 2026 calendar, the core practices described are consistent with long-standing cultural customs. These traditions involve elaborate preparations, including the decoration of the palanquins and the gathering of devotees to accompany the deity to nearby water bodies, symbolizing the divine's interaction with the elements.
