Rama Ekadashi Vrat Katha

As per one of the popular legends, in ancient times, there was a wise and righteous king named Muchukunda, who ruled his kingdom with fairness. He had a beautiful and virtuous daughter named Chandrabhaaga. Chandrabhaaga married Prince Shobhan, a noble and kind-hearted man. Both were devoted to dharma and spiritual practices. One day, Sage Shandilya visited the king and explained the significance of Rama Ekadashi, and said that anyone observing this vrat sincerely, with fasting and devotion to Lord Vishnu, would be freed from sins, gain prosperity, and attain spiritual merit.

King Muchukunda, Chandrabhaaga, and her husband Shobhan decided to observe this Ekadashi fast. They began the day with prayers, worshipped Lord Vishnu, offered tulsi leaves, flowers, lamps, and recited sacred mantras. Chandrabhaaga and Shobhan served the king and performed all rituals together with love and devotion.

Pleased with their devotion, Lord Vishnu appeared before them. He blessed them with long life, happiness, prosperity, and liberation from all past sins. The kingdom flourished under the guidance of the righteous family, and everyone in the kingdom celebrated the divine blessings of Rama Ekadashi.
