Today, August 18 marks the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi Tithi (eleventh day) of Sawan month. The day is quite significant for Hindus as it is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. To wish for a healthy and prosperous life and seek blessings, devotees of Lord Vishnu observe a day-long fast. The Putrada Ekadashi is observed twice a year — once in Paush Shukla Paksha and another in Shravan Shukla Paksha. It is said that the couple who observe this fast gets blessed with a baby.
Usually, the Ekadashi vrat begins on the evening of Dashami Tithi. The parana of this fast is concluded on Dwadashi Tithi i.e, the next day of Ekadashi vrat. Know more about the date, time, puja vidhi and significance.

As mentioned above, Lord Vishnu, who holds the Sudarshan Chakra, is worshipped on the day of Shravan Putrada Ekadashi. Devotees observing the fast of Shravan Putrada Ekadashi consume satvik food one time before they begin their fast i.e. on Dashami tithi and follow restraint and celibacy. The devotees then begin their fast by taking a vow of fasting and performing dhyana. They offer Gangajal, Tulsi, Til (sesame seeds), Flowers and Panchamrit while worshipping Lord Vishnu. The Shravan Putrada Ekadashi fast is observed Nirjala which means devotees can’t consume water during the fast. The Parana is done by offering food to a needy person.
