Nirjala Ekadashi is one the most important days out of the 24 Ekadashi vrats in a year. Many devotees were seen on Monday taking a holy dip in river Ganga at Varanasi on the occasion of Nirjala Ekadashi. According to the holy scriptures, fasting on Nirjala Ekadashi is tough and requires courage and determination. As the word 'Nirjala' suggests, devotees of Lord Vishnu observe this Ekadashi vrat without even drinking a drop of water. Nirjala Ekadashi falls during the Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha according to the Hindu calendar. Many devotees fast on two consecutive days to seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu. Ekadashi tithi began at 4:21 PM on June 20 ended at 1:31 PM on June 21. The Parana time or moment of breaking the fast is on June 22, between 5:24 AM and 8:12 AM. On Parana day, the Dwadashi end moment is 10:22 AM. (Source: drikpanchang.com)
