Rama Ekadashi 2020: Significance, muhurat, parana timings, puja vidhi

This year Rama Ekadashi will be observed on November 11 (Wednesday). On this auspicious day, Lord Vishnu along with Rama Swaroop of goddess Laxmi is worshipped. Devotees bathe in holy water, observe a day-long fast and only eat or drink something with the sunrise of Dwadashi Tithi. They perform puja where they offer sacred food (Prasad), incense sticks, sandalwood paste, and flowers to the deity.

Hindus believe that making offerings to God on this day will make them achieve wealth and prosperity. It is also said that devotees who observe a fast on Ekadashi tithi get rid of all the sins of present or previous births and attain Moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth).

According to the drikpanchang, "One should do Parana within Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi is over before sunrise. And not doing Parana within Dwadashi is similar to an offence."
