Amalaki Ekadashi, a significant fasting day for Hindus, falls on Monday, March 10, 2025. Amalaki Ekadashi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is observed by fasting and worshipping the Amla tree (Indian Gooseberry) The Amla fruit is considered sacred and is believed to bestow health, wealth, and prosperity. It is crucial to do Parana within Dwadashi Tithi (the twelfth lunar day), ideally after sunrise on the next day. The most auspicious time for Parana is Pratahkal (early morning) If unavoidable, do it after Madhyahna (midday) If you are planning to fast on the second day of Ekadashi, you should do it on the first day of Dwadashis. Fasting on both days is suggested for dedicated devotees seeking lord Vishnu’s blessings. The alternate fast is recommended for Sanyasis (renunciates), widows, and those seeking Moksha (liberation)
