Ekadashi holds immense spiritual significance in Hinduism. Observed twice a month, on the eleventh day of both the Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha, this sacred fast is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Fasting, performing puja, charity, and observing discipline on this day are believed to invoke Lord Vishnu’s divine blessings.
Currently, the holy month of Kartik is underway, and the Ekadashi falling in the Krishna Paksha of this month is known as Rama Ekadashi. This Ekadashi is particularly special as it falls a day before Dhanteras and marks the last Ekadashi of the Chaturmas period. Devotees believe that worshipping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi together on Rama Ekadashi brings immense happiness and prosperity.
