About Ekadashi
Ekadashi is the eleventh tithi of each lunar fortnight, sacred to Lord Vishnu. There are 24 in a normal year — two each month — and each has its own name and story, such as Nirjala, Devshayani and Devutthana Ekadashi.
How it is observed
Devotees fast from grains and beans, spend the day in prayer and Vishnu puja, and break the fast (parana) on Dwadashi morning after sunrise, within the permitted time.
