Apara Ekadashi




Apara Ekadashi, also known as Jyeshtha-Krishna Ekadashi or Vaishak Vadi Ekadashi, occurs during the dark fortnight of Jyeshtha (May-June). Lord Trivikrama - a manifestation of Lord Vishnu - is prayed with flowers of Ketki and Bofli. Milk and rice are offered to the deity. This Ekadashi is believed to be so meritorious that even the greatest sins can be washed away by its purity.
