Parivartini Ekadashi 2020: Puja Vidhi and significance

During the month of Chaturmas or four months, it is believed that Lord Vishnu goes into the state of Yogic sleep or Yoga Nidra, starting from Devshayani Ekadashi. The sleeping duration lasts for the month of Sawan, Bhadon, Ashwina and Karthik.

The fifth Ekadashi of the Chaturmas is called Parivartini as it is believed that Lord Vishnu changes his sleeping posture on this day.

Devotees observe fast on the day of Parivartini Ekadashi. They wake up early, take bath, worship lord and pray to forgive them for all the sins.
