According to Kashi astrologer Chakrapani Bhatt, Nirajala Ekadashi and Ganga Dussehra are crucial days as devotees worship water on these auspicious days.

On account of Nirjala Ekadashi, people offer drinking water to travellers. Some also serve water to birds by storing it in earthen pots. As per belief, serving water to others during the month of Jyeshtha pleases the Sun God.
