Parama Ekadashi 2026: Significance
Parama Ekadashi holds special importance among Hindus, dedicated to worshipping Lord Vishnu. This Ekadashi occurs after a long gap of three years during Adhik Mas, also known as Purushottam Maas, a month dedicated to honoring the preserver of the universe. Devotees are advised to worship with devotion and purity. Observing this fast is believed to bless devotees with material joys, happiness, and prosperity. It also helps in absolving negative karmas, whether intentional or unintentional, committed in the past.
