In Hinduism, every date holds significance, with each dedicated to a deity. Among these, Ekadashi Vrat is particularly special and is considered devoted to Lord Vishnu. On this day, worshipping Lakshmi Narayan is an essential ritual. Several Ekadashis are observed throughout the year, including Jaya Ekadashi, Vijaya Ekadashi, and Amalaki Ekadashi.
As the Amalaki Ekadashi of the Phalgun month approaches, it is essential to understand its auspicious timings, significance, and rituals.
