Mohini Ekadashi 2026 is marked by special rituals and the reading of vrat katha to cleanse sins. This significant day falls on April 27, with the Parana scheduled for April 28.
Devotees traditionally observe Mohini Ekadashi by fasting and reciting mantras dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The act of fasting is seen as a form of atonement, allowing followers to purify their souls.
On this day, worshippers read the vrat katha, which recounts the tale of Dharmapal’s son, Drishtabuddhi. He observed the Mohini Ekadashi vrat upon the advice of Rishi Kaundinya to atone for his sins.
Special attention is given to Lord Vishnu in his Mohini form during the celebrations. This avatar symbolizes allure and divine intervention in Hindu mythology.
In addition to spiritual practices, devotees are encouraged to donate to the poor on Mohini Ekadashi. This act of charity complements their devotion and enhances their spiritual merit.
