This day holds great significance, especially for devotees of Lord Vishnu, who observe fasts and offer prayers on Ekadashi.
Ekadashi, a significant day in the Hindu calendar, occurs every eleventh day after Purnima (full moon) and Amavasya (new moon). Divided into Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha, each half of the month contains an Ekadashi. Krishna Paksha Ekadashi falls eleven days after the full moon, while Shukla Paksha Ekadashi occurs eleven days after the new moon, resulting in twenty-four to twenty-six Ekadashis in a year.
This day holds great significance, especially for devotees of Lord Vishnu, who observe fasts and offer prayers on Ekadashi. The fasting rituals involve rising early, bathing, wearing fresh clothes, and dedicating prayers to Lord Vishnu. Throughout the day, adherents consume only sattvik food like milk, fruits, and dry fruits. Listening to the Ekadashi Vrat Katha is also customary, each Ekadashi associated with its own unique significance and purpose.
