Sri Vamana Jayanti 2026 Date & Info - Sri Vamana Ekadashi & Sri Vamana Dwadashi Dates

- Sri Vamana Ekadashi is on 22 September 2026 (Tuesday).

- Sri Vamana Jayanti on Sri Vamana Dwadashi is on 23 September 2026 (Wednesday)

Sri Vamana is the Avatar of Lord Vishnu. Sri Vamana took Avatar on Bhadrapada Shukla Paksha Dwadashi to Rishi Kashyap and Maata Aditi.

King Bali took possession of Deva Loka. Indra and other Devatas disappeared from Swarga Loka and were living in disguise. King Bali was conducting 100th Ashwamedha Yaga sacrifice for retention of power and status he gained.

To restore the heavenly region to Indra Devatas, Sri Vamana in the form of a kid Brahmachari, went to King Bali Yaagashala to get a gift.

King Bali offered Sri Vamana riches, but Sri Vamana sought just 3 steps of land measured by his foot. King Bali offered the gift as sought by Sri Vamana.

Sri Vamana became Thrivikrama, measured the entire Earth with 1 foot, entire heavenly worlds with second foot. There was no place to measure 3rd step of land. King Bali offered his head to be measured as 3rd step with the holy feet of God.

Sri Vamana gave a boon that King Bali will become Indra in Manu Savarni and till then made him live in Pathala Loka named Sutala along with his friends and relatives.

Sri Vamana also asked Prahalada to stay happy with his Grandson King Bali in Sutala. Lord Vishnu said Prahalada can see him every day guarding the Sutala with mace in hand. The bliss arising with this vision will shatter the bondage of ignorance.

Sri Vamana also called as Upendra (i.e., Brother of Indra: since both were born to Rishi Kashyap & Mata Aditi) thus restored the Deva Loka to Indra.

In Sringeri, on Sri Vamana Ekadashi Jagadguru Shankaracharya will perform Sri Vamana Chaturyama Puja after Sri Chandramouleeshwara Puja at Night.

During Puja, Katha will be read by Jagadguru in praise of Sri Vamana. Next day on Vamana Jayanthi i.e., Sri Vamana Dwadashi, Homam, Uttara Puja will be performed in the morning.
