Ekadashi March 2025: Amalaki and Papmochani Ekadashi vrat, the two most important Ekadashi fasts, will be celebrated in March 2025. As a holy day for fasting, Ekadashi Vrat is very important in Hinduism.

Ekadashi is a festival honoring Lord Vishnu that is observed on the eleventh lunar day, or tithi, of each fortnight. This vrat is said to promote spiritual development, tranquility, and emancipation by purifying the mind, body, and soul. An essential component of Hindu spiritual practice is this holy fast.

Importance of Amalaki Ekadashi in 2025
During the lunar month of Phalgun, on the eleventh day of the waxing moon phase, people celebrate the holy Hindu holiday known as Amalaki Ekadashi. In the Gregorian calendar, this usually occurs in February or March. Devotees honor the amla tree, also called the Indian gooseberry, which is said to be home to Lord Vishnu, on this day.

The primary Holi celebrations, a colorful Hindu holiday, commence with the Amalaki Ekadashi celebration. In order to get the blessings of Lord Vishnu, devotees perform prayers and rituals to the amla tree. An important prelude to the festive Holi festivities is this holy day.

Significance of Papmochani Ekadashi in 2025
The eleventh day of the waning moon phase in the month of Chaitra (North Indian calendar) or Phalgun (South Indian calendar) coincides with the holy fast of Papmochani Ekadashi. According to the English calendar, this is equivalent to March or April. Interestingly, Papamochani Ekadashi falls between Holika Dahan and Chaitra Navratri festivities and is the last of the Hindu calendar’s 24 ekadashis.

With “Papa” standing for wrongdoing and “Mochan” for release, the word “Papamochani” denotes freedom from sin. Fasting on Papamochani Ekadashi, according to devotees, absolves them of previous transgressions and encourages them to refrain from committing new ones. This ekadashi is known as “Guruvar Ekadashi” when it happens on a Thursday, and it is regarded as very noteworthy.
