This festival is celebrated on Jyestha Shukla Ekadashi. For this, Dwadashi yukta Ekadashi is taken. According to religious scriptures, Nirjala Ekadashi has the most importance among all the 24 Ekadashis of the year. It is also called Bhimseni Ekadashi. Drinking water is also considered prohibited during this Ekadashi fast, hence it is called Nirjala Ekadashi. The fast continues from Ekadashi Tithi to the sunrise of Dwadashi Tithi and only after that the fast is broken. On this day, wake up early in the morning, take bath, worship Lord Vishnu and during the worship make the resolution of fasting whole day.
