Ekadashi fasting is observed twice a month, once during Krishna Paksha and once during Shukla Paksha. Among these, Rangbhari Ekadashi, also known as Amalaki Ekadashi, holds special significance as it is associated with both Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva-Parvati.
Why is Rangbhari Ekadashi Celebrated?
According to Hindu mythology, on this Ekadashi, Lord Shiva brought Goddess Parvati to Kashi (Varanasi) and offered her gulal, marking the beginning of Holi celebrations. This is why it is called Rangbhari Ekadashi—a festival of colors, devotion, and divine love.
Devotees believe that observing this fast helps in attaining Moksha (liberation) and absolving sins.
