First day
The last five days of Kārtika, kept as a vow in honour of Bhīṣmadeva.
Utthāna Ekādaśī
- Fast today from grains and beans
Also called Prabodhinī or Haribodhinī Ekādaśī: Lord Viṣṇu rises from His four-month rest. It falls in the holy month of Kārtika, near Bhīṣma Pañcaka and the wedding of Tulasī Devī.
How to keep Ekādaśī
Ekādaśī, the eleventh day of each fortnight of the moon, is very dear to Lord Hari. Devotees fast from grains and beans, chant more rounds, read and hear about Kṛṣṇa, and break the fast the next morning within the given time.
