What isEkadashi?Ekadashi follows the Hindu calendar on the movement of themoon. amonth has 30 days and are divided into two periods of15days. Firstperiod of the month is called Sud (Sukla pax). Duringthis period,the Moon's size is increasing. The second period of themonth iscalled Vad ( Krishan pax). During this period, the moon'ssize isdecreasing. Ekadashi occurs on the 11th day of each period(twice amonth). Ekadashi mean 11 (Ek meaning 1 and dash meaning10therefore 11).

OnceLordNarayan was resting and a demon call Mundanav challenged theLordfor a fight. Mundanav had a boon (wish) that he could notbedefeated by a man. So Lord Narayan produced a damsel fromelevenspiritual parts of his body. Mundanav was so attracted tothisdamsel that he asked her to marry her. The damsel agreed withacondition that he had to fight her and destroy her and onlythenwill she marry him. Mundanav was blinded by passion and didnoteven think twice and agreed to fight with her. During thefight,Mundanav was killed by the damsel. Lord Narayan was pleasedwiththe damsel and granted her a boon.
