Nirjala Ekadashi is one of the most important Ekadashis and it falls on the eleventh day of every lunar fortnight. This year it is being celebrated today, i.e- 2nd June 2020. 

There are 24 Ekadashi in a year and Nirjala Ekadashi is considered as one of the most pious ones. 

Also called “Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi” or “Bhimsaini Ekadashi”, Nirjala Ekadashi is one of the most difficult ones to observe. The devotee has to go without food and water for 24 hours and break the fast the next day.
