Ekadashi April 2025: Kamada and Varuthini Ekadashi, the two most important Ekadashi fasts, are scheduled for this month. Ekadashi Vrat, a holy fasting day that occurs twice a month, is very important in Hinduism. It occurs on the eleventh lunar day of each month’s Krishna Paksha (dark half) and Shukla Paksha (bright half). In order to pursue spiritual development, forgiveness, and freedom, devotees maintain this fast. It is said that by purifying the mind and spirit, this vrat helps followers get closer to their god.

Significance of Kamada Ekadashi 2025: The eleventh day of the Shukla Paksha in the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra is Kamada Ekadashi, an important Hfast. Following the Hindu New Year celebrations, this is the first Ekadashi festival. Sri Krishna, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, is honored on this day by Hindus. It is also called Chaitra Shukla Ekadashi since it falls after the Navratri festivities. Devotees believe that honoring Kamada Ekadashi fulfills all material aspirations; hence, the name “Kamada” means “fulfillment of desires.” This holiday is observed all around India, but in Southern India it has particular importance. Hindus want to have their wishes granted and develop a closer connection with their religion by actively taking part in the celebrations.
