What Is Jaya Ekadashi?
As per the Hindu calendar, Jaya Ekadashi is observed on the eleventh day (Ekadashi) in the Magh month during the Shukla Paksha. As per the Gregorian calendar, the eve of Jaya Ekadashi falls in the period between mid of January to mid of February which is celebrated to worship Lord Vishnu.
As per the Hindu beliefs and mythology, it is believed that observing a fast on this Hindu tithi absolves all the past and present sins of the devotees. The most significant part of this observance is to feed the poor and perform the puja of Lord Vishnu as by performing this the devotees get blessed and are bestowed with abundant wealth and happiness.
