G GOWTHAM
Ekadashi Vrat is one of the most significant observances for Hindus, observed twice every month. The word “Ekadashi” refers to the 11th day of each lunar fortnight in the Hindu calendar. Each month has two Ekadashis: one during Krishna Paksha (the waning phase of the moon) and one during Shukla Paksha (the waxing phase of the moon).

Observing Ekadashi Vrat is believed to bring spiritual, mental, and physical benefits. Devotees often fast, meditate, and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu, seeking his blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual growth. Fasting on Ekadashi is said to purify the mind and body, remove negative energies, and help devotees cultivate self-discipline.
