Safla Ekadashi, also known as Pausha-Krishna Ekadashi, occurs during the dark fortnight of Pausha (December-January.) On this day, Lord Narayan (
Lord Vishnu) is worshipped with pomegranate, betel nuts and different kinds of aromatic spices. The offerings of incense and ghee lamps are believed to be highly glorious. Fasting is observed on this day and the devotees do not sleep a wink at night singing and chanting the glories of Lord Narayan. It is believed that the observance of this
Ekadashi with utmost devotion has the same merit as the practicing of austerity for five thousand earthly years.
