Overview
- Devotees mark Kamada Ekadashi, which falls Sunday, March 29, with the Ekadashi tithi running from 8:45 am Saturday to 7:46 am Sunday.
- Worship of Lord Vishnu is highlighted in reports, with Abhijit muhurta on March 29 cited as roughly 6:00 to 7:30 am for prayers.
- Breaking the fast on Dwadashi comes Monday, March 30, though outlets list different start times of 6:07 am, 6:14 am, or 6:34 am, with a common end near 7:09 am.
- Guides advise an early bath, a pledge to fast, home puja with a Vishnu idol, tulsi and fruit offerings, mantra recitation, and opening the fast on Dwadashi.
- The vrat katha recounts Lalita’s devotion freeing her husband Lalit from a curse, a story cited from the Varaha Purana that frames the fast as wish‑fulfilling and purifying.
