Mumbai: In Hindu tradition, Ekadashi is considered one of the most auspicious days to seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Observing a fast on Ekadashi is believed to bring peace and prosperity in life. Amla Ekadashi, also known as Amalaki Ekadashi, falls on the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Phalguna. It is particularly significant in Varanasi, where it is called Rangbhari Ekadashi. As the name suggests, this day is dedicated to the worship of the Amla (Indian gooseberry) tree, which is believed to be sacred in Hindu mythology.
According to religious beliefs, observing the Amalaki Ekadashi fast absolves one of sins and grants the blessings of Lord Vishnu. However, there is some confusion regarding the exact date of Amla Ekadashi in 2025.
