Why this date?· तिथि निर्णय
Hindu date: Kartika Shukla Ekadashi.
Ekadashi is kept on the day before Dwadashi is current at sunrise, so that the fast can be broken (parana) within Dwadashi. Usually that is simply the day Ekadashi is current at sunrise; when Ekadashi spans two sunrises or is lost between them, this rule decides the day.
Dates are calculated for New Delhi. In other cities, and especially outside India, the tithi changes at a different local time, so a festival can fall a day earlier or later. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima. How we calculate
About Devuthani Ekadashi· महत्व
Homes draw Vishnu's footprints, set up a canopy of sugarcane and wake the Lord with songs. Tulsi Vivah, the marriage of the tulsi plant to Shaligram, begins from this day or the next.
Pandharpur holds its Kartiki Ekadashi pilgrimage, and weddings and other ceremonies resume after Chaturmas.
How to keep the fast· विधि
- Eat a single sattvic meal without grains on Dashami, the day before.
- On Ekadashi avoid rice, wheat, pulses and beans; keep a full fast, a water-only fast or a fruit-and-milk (phalahar) fast as health allows.
- Worship Lord Vishnu with tulsi leaves, a ghee lamp and yellow flowers; read the Ekadashi katha or the Vishnu Sahasranama.
- Stay awake in bhajan or japa through the night if you can.
- Break the fast (parana) on Dwadashi after sunrise, after the first quarter of Dwadashi (Hari Vasara) and before Dwadashi ends.
