Pokhara - From Ashad Shukla Ekadashi to Kartik Shukla Purnima, devotees of Sanatan Dharma perform special worship by praying Tulsi at home. On the day of Kartik Shukla Ekadashi, the day celebrated with special worship and marriage of Tulsi to Damodar as a symbol of Lord Vishnu is called Haribodhini Ekadashi.
Today's Ekadashi is also called Haribodhini Ekadashi because Vishnu who is sleeping in Kshir Sagar wakes up on the day of Ashad Shukla Ekadashi. Hari Shayani Ekadashi. For four months from Hari Shayani to the day of Hari Bodhini Ekadashi, the devotees of Vishnu observe Tulsi fast and do special worship.
Haribodhani Ekadashi is also known as 'Big Ekadashi'. On this day Sanatan Dharma devotees eat kandamul and fruits without eating food.
