What are the rituals of Ekadashi?

On Ekadashi, most Hindus pay tribute to Lord Vishnu. On this day, they observe a strict fast that they will not break until after the sunrise on the following day. Devotees have the option to abstain from food and water or just water, or just fruits.

What should be avoided on Ekadashi?

Adherents of this religious observance begin their fast during the first light of Ekadashi and break it the following morning. It is forbidden to consume rice, legumes, garlic and onions throughout the fast. For those who can’t abide by the rigorous fasting regulations, milk and fruits are acceptable. The consumption of meat is strictly disallowed in Hindu households on this day.

What are the benefits of Ekadashi?

It is believed that Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the lunar two-week period, is ideal for allowing the mind to reach its natural state of knowledge. Therefore, when fasting and directing the mind, it is likely to function properly.
