Devotees observe a fast on this day, which is believed to relieve all sins and sufferings. Also known as Rambha Ekadashi or Kartik Krishna Ekadashi, it is observed as Purattasi in Tamil Nadu and Ashwina or Ashwayuja in Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh. Devotees believe that observing this vrat can absolve them of severe sins, including Brahma Hatya (the killing of a Brahmin), and lead them toward salvation, holding the spiritual merit of performing thousands of Ashwamedha Yagyas.Rama Ekadashi 2024: Puja RitualsEarly Morning Rituals: Begin with a holy bath and cleanse the house, especially the puja room.Bathing the Idol: Bathe a Lord Vishnu idol with panchamrit and place it on a wooden plank.Offering Prayers: Light a diya and offer garlands, flowers, sweets, panchamrit, and Tulsi Patra.Chanting: Devotees chant "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" throughout the day.Evening Worship: Worship Lord Vishnu again in the evening by lighting a diya and reciting Vishnu Sahasranaam and Shri Hari Stotram.Breaking the Fast: Conclude the fast with fruits and milk products, and perform Parana on Dwadashi Tithi.Rama Ekadashi Vrat Katha: The Story of King Muchukund, Shobhan, and ChandrabhagaEach Ekadashi Vrat Katha was originally narrated by Lord Krishna to King Yudhishthira. For Rama Ekadashi, the story follows King Muchukund, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, who was blessed with wealth and fame. His daughter, Chandrabhaga, married Prince Shobhan, the son of King Chandrasen.During a visit to King Muchukund’s palace, the king decreed that all should observe the Ekadashi fast. Though Shobhan was physically unfit for fasting, he attempted to follow the ritual but succumbed to illness on Dwadashi. After his death, Shobhan mysteriously awoke in Devapur, a kingdom on Mandarachal mountain, with a throne but an unstable rule due to his reluctant observance of the vrat.A Brahmin pilgrim from Muchukund’s kingdom, upon seeing Shobhan in Devapur, returned to inform Chandrabhaga. She later joined Shobhan in Devapur, bringing strength and stability to his kingdom.
