Parivartini Ekadashi Significance

Parivartini Ekadashi holds great significance in Hinduism, as according to scriptures, Lord Vishnu, who is believed to go into a deep sleep on Devshayani Ekadashi, changes his sleeping posture on this day. Hence, it is called Parivartini, which means ‘turning’ or ‘changing position.

The term 'Parsva' means 'side,' and 'Ekadashi' refers to the eleventh day, marking the occasion when Lord Vishnu is believed to turn on his side during his cosmic sleep, known as Yoga Nidra. This day also marks the beginning of the preparations for the upcoming Chaturmas rituals and the transition toward the festive season, especially Onam, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, and Diwali.
