Papankusha Ekadashi

Papankusha Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of Ashwin and is considered one of the most powerful Ekadashis of the year. Papankusha means “destroyer of sins” — the scriptures teach that fasting on this day and worshipping Lord Vishnu destroys even the gravest sins and grants liberation. It is said that the merit earned by fasting on Papankusha Ekadashi equals that of performing great sacrifices and pilgrimages. This Ekadashi falls immediately after Dussehra, extending the auspicious energy of the festive season.

This date is noted on our temple calendar as an observance for devotees’ reference. There is no scheduled program or gathering at the temple for this occasion. Devotees are welcome to make offerings at home or during regular temple hours.
