Yogini Ekadashi is one of the most revered fasting days and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe in Hindu tradition. Devotees believe that observing this vrat with sincerity helps them seek forgiveness for past mistakes, break free from negative karma, and move closer to spiritual growth and liberation.
In the Hindu lunar calendar, Ekadashi occurs twice a month — once in the waxing phase (Shukla Paksha) and once in the waning phase (Krishna Paksha) — adding up to 24 Ekadashi observances across the year. Yogini Ekadashi falls in the Krishna Paksha of the Ashadha month and is regarded as especially powerful for those seeking inner purification and release from worldly attachments.
