Mohini Ekadashi is one of the most widely observed festivals by Indians. This day, which falls on the 11th day of the bright half of the moon in the month of Vaishakh, is regarded as very auspicious. In 2024, Mohini Ekadashi will be observed on Sunday, May 19th.
Mohini Ekadashi is strictly observed by the devotees of Lord Vishnu. On this day, it is believed that by following a strict fast and performing religious rites, one can go to heaven and receive the blessings of the Almighty.
The name "Mohini" is taken from the Sanskrit word "Moha," which means delusion or infatuation.This Ekadashi is celebrated to mark the day when Lord Vishnu triumphed over the demons deluded by his stunningly beautiful female form, Mohini.
