Astrology News Desk: There are many fasts and festivals observed in Sanatan Dharma and all have their own significance but Ekadashi fast is considered very special which falls twice every month. A total of 24 Ekadashi fasts are observed in a year. On this day, there is a tradition of worshiping and fasting.
The date of Ekadashi is dedicated to the worship of Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of the world. Worship of Shri Hari on this auspicious day ends the sorrows of life. Due to Ekadashi falling in Pitru Paksha, its importance has increased further. This time the fast of Indira Ekadashi is 28. It is being done today i.e. Saturday in September. Worshiping Lord Vishnu on this day is considered beneficial. It is best to do puja and fast on this day, but there are some things which should not be done even by mistake on Ekadashi, otherwise the peace and happiness of the house gets eclipsed, so today we are telling you about them.
Do not do these things on Indira Ekadashi-
One should not consume rice even by mistake on the day of Indira Ekadashi. It is believed that doing so is a sin.
