Nirjala Ekadashi 2025: What is the significance?
According to Hindu scriptures, Nirjala Ekadashi carries immense religious and spiritual importance. Observed during the Shukla Paksha of the Jyeshtha month, it is also known as Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi. The Nirjala Vrat is one of the most austere fasts, undertaken without consuming food or even a drop of water. Devotees break their fast only on the Dwadashi Tithi, and even then, they are allowed to drink water only after completing the necessary rituals. Known for its rigor and sanctity, this fast is observed with deep devotion and unwavering dedication to Lord Vishnu.
Nirjala Ekadashi 2025: Rituals
After a thorough bath and cleansing, devotees begin their puja rituals early in the morning.
An idol or image of Lord Vishnu is placed on a wooden plank.
Offerings such as fresh flowers, homemade sweets, chandan (sandalwood) tilak, and a desi ghee diya are presented to the deity.
Tulsi Patra (holy basil leaves) is a mandatory offering to Lord Vishnu.
Devotees then offer heartfelt prayers before starting their day.
Throughout the day, they chant the Shri Krishna Maha Mantra with devotion.
On the following day, during Dwadashi Tithi, the fast is broken during the Parana period with food and water.

Feeder bus services starts on Kalyaninagar-Magarpatta route
1 2 3 Pune: The Maha Metro and PMPML fulfilled a year-long demand of commuters on Friday and started feeder bus services connecting Kalyaninagar Metro station to Magarpatta and Hadapsar. The feeder bus services will run throughout the day at a 45-minute interval. The frequency, however, is likely to increase based on ridership and demand, the Maha Metro and PMPML said. The Kalyaninagar-Magarpatta feeder route was identified to ensure shortest possible distance with minimum bus stops. For over a year now, professionals working in Magarpatta raised a demand for feeder buses from Kalyaninagar, the closest metro station for them. In the absence of any alternate commute option, travellers faced fleecing by auto drivers after alighting at Kalyaninagar. Prior to the Kalyaninagar-Magarpatta route, the Maha Metro and PMPML operated feeder buses on prominent routes such as Yerawada-Ramwadi-Lohegaon airport, Vanaz-Chandni Chowk-Pashan road and Ramwadi-Kharadi IT park. Regular commuters, however, have said the overall frequency of these buses has been 'considerably low'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo For instance, the buses from Yerawada station to the airport and Kharadi are plying every 40 minutes. Commuters, however, need buses at every 10-15 minutes. Sujit Patil, who works in the airport road area, said the frequency of buses should not remain at 40 minutes interval when the metro trains are running every 7 to 10 minutes. "The authorities should operate buses at least at a frequency of 10 to 15 minutes," Patil said. The PMPML said the feeder buses are introduced on around 22 routes. Some routes have been redesigned to benefit metro commuters. Gokhalenagar resident Ashish Shinde said many pockets are still out of reach of feeder services. "We want the administration to cover maximum routes. Also, PMPML should operate smaller buses for feeder routes, which will benefit commuters and reduce PMPML's expenses," Shinde said. Officials from Maha Metro said continuous efforts are underway to improve last-mile connectivity to the metro stations. The PMPML is in the process of adding more buses to the existing fleet. "We will see how more buses can be deployed on feeder routes," officials said.

Gujarat Common Admission Service (GCAS): Several undergraduate seats vacant after second intake round
Ahmedabad: Following the completion of two rounds in the undergraduate admission process, the Gujarat Common Admission Service (GCAS) has confirmed placements for roughly 91,000 students across 15 govt universities. Gujarat University has accommodated approximately 9,000 students. Nevertheless, more than 50,000 positions remain unfilled at GU, creating anticipation among students for subsequent admission phases. The govt universities across the state continue to show substantial vacant positions, despite confirming numerous admissions. GCAS data indicates that most seats remain unoccupied, with Gujarat University alone showing availability of over 50,000 positions. According to admission committee sources, numerous students have not confirmed their current offers, preferring to wait for potentially better college placements in forthcoming rounds. Students anticipate that a clearer picture of available seats will emerge once the second phase of registration commences, potentially revealing more precise information about college availability. The absence of a mock round has left students uncertain about their genuine merit-based college prospects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo There remains optimism amongst students about securing places in more prestigious institutions in subsequent rounds.

Over 1.4L register for FYJC in Nashik division
Nashik: Over 1.4 lakh students have registered for first year junior college (FYJC) admission through the online common admission process (CAP) in Nashik division, the total registrations slightly higher than last year's 1.2 lakh admissions. An official said the exact number of students seeking admission will be clear after the whole process is over. The Nashik division comprises Nashik, Dhule, Nandurbar and Jalgaon districts. He said, "It is good that registrations have crossed last year's number. Students will have to file personal details in part 1 of the process and choice of colleges based on priority in part 2." The Nashik district has witnessed 65,751 registrations against last year's admission of 54,705. Jalgaon has 41,091 registrations against 34,262, Dhule has 19,869 registrations against 20,797 and Nandurbar has 14,258 registrations against 13,227 admissions last year. "The registrations started a bit late this year. Students took time to understand that CAP was the only way towards admissions, unlike last year's system where offline admissions were conducted everywhere, except in Nashik. Most students were unaware and the registration process was slow in the beginning, but gathered pace in the final leg as children understood the change," added the officer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Admission seekers have to lock part 2 of their forms before 2pm on Saturday (June 7). "If students fail to do so, the process will be considered incomplete. Just filling up forms is not enough," said the officer. He further said that students who may have missed the deadline for registration and locking of part 2 of the registration process will not be part of the first round of admission allotments. They will be considered only when entries for the second rounds begin. However, it will be ensured that every student gets admission for FYJC.
