About Ekadashi (Dashain)

Ekadashi during Dashain marks a significant day of spiritual reflection and preparation within the larger Hindu festival of Dashain in Nepal. Devotees observe fasting and perform rituals to honor Lord Vishnu, seeking spiritual merit and purity. It is an important cultural observance that bridges religious devotion with the festive spirit of the nation's most prominent holiday.
