Yogini Ekadashi
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Yogini Ekadashi falls in the dark fortnight before the Rath Yatra and is observed with a fast dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is traditionally believed to wash away harm done to others and to restore health — its story tells of a cursed gardener healed by keeping this very fast.
