DESCRIPTION:

Hindus believe by fasting (vrat) on Jaya Ekadashi assists in eradicating ones sins and take them closer to achieving salvation (Moksha).

While pious devotees observe a complete fast on this day, some opt for a partial fast. On the day before Jaya Ekadashi, people consume a single meal as a part of preparation for the fast. On Jaya Ekadashi, devotees rise up early and take a bath after, which they offer their morning prayers to Lord Vishnu.

The vrat is observed for 24 hours, either full or partial abstinence from specific foods including rice, grains, honey, and eating on a metal plate. However, fruits, nuts, milk products, vegetables and dried fruits can be consumed.

Firm Vishnu devotees keep awake during the entire night and spend their time at Vishnu temples singing hymns and listening to stories devoted to Lord Vishnu.

On the next morning, after bathing and offering prayers, a lamp is lit and the vrat is broken.

PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian Civil Calendar, which is the official holiday calendar in India, the largest Hindu nation. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon and stars. Names of months and holidays, as well as the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar, vary widely from one calendar to the next. Use our dates as a baseline. Find out which of the dozens of Hindu calendars is used in the region you live or plan to visit if you are looking to attend or witness a specific observance.
