Ekadashi fasting is observed with great devotion by devotees who seek the love and affection of Lord Vishnu. The Ekadashi fast is broken after sunrise on the next day of the Ekadashi fast. It is necessary to do Parana (breaking the fast) within Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi is over before sunrise. Apara Ekadashi Vrat 2025 falls on Friday, May 23, 2025.
