Ekadashi, or fasting, is performed in honor of Lord Vishnu.
There are two types of Ekadashi: one observed monthly and the other honored annually.
Mokshada Ekadeshi is the Ekadeshi of Magha Shukla Paksha. In the Gregorian calendar, this falls in November or December. This Ekadashi is celebrated on the same day as Gita Jayanti.
Devotees perform a fast from sunrise on Mokshada Ekadashi to the next day's dawn, eating only vegetarian food, including fruit, vegetables, milk produce, and nuts.
Eating rice, beans, pulses, garlic, and onions is prohibited today.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. 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 and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
