Kamika Ekadashi

Kamika Ekadashi is observed during the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of the Shravana month. It is believed to cleanse all sins, grant liberation (moksha), and fulfil desires, providing merit equivalent to performing a horse sacrifice or visiting holy sites like Kashi. It also removes Pitru Dosh (ancestral curses).

  Kamika Ekadashi is devoted to Lord Vishnu, and worshipping Him brings peace and spiritual growth.

• Observed in Shravan Month
  It falls during the Krishna Paksha of the Shravan month (July–August), a highly sacred period in Hinduism.

• Greater than Pilgrimage
  It is believed that observing this fast gives more merit than visiting holy places or performing large rituals.

• Importance of Tulsi Worship
  Offering Tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu on this day is considered extremely auspicious.
