Nirjala Ekadashi Observed with Fasting and Offerings
Nirjala Ekadashi, considered a significant and challenging fast in Hinduism, was observed. Devotees undertake a fast without water, believing it yields the benefits of all Ekadashis throughout the year. The observance also includes making specific donations and reading associated religious stories to please deities. For followers of Khatu Shyamji, special arrangements were made for continuous darshan during this period.
