Ekadashi is a significant day in the Hindu calendar, occurring twice a month on the 11th day of each lunar fortnight. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, and is observed by many devotees as a day of fasting and spiritual reflection. On Ekadashi, followers often abstain from grains and beans, focusing instead on fruits and vegetables. The day is believed to purify the mind and body, promoting spiritual growth and devotion. Many people also engage in prayers and rituals to seek blessings and enhance their connection with the divine.
