Ekadashi

A gentle pause, twice a month.

Meaning

Ekadashi is observed on the 11th day of each lunar fortnight — a day of light eating, prayer and reflection.

|| ॐ ||

History

The practice is described in the Puranas and has been kept by generations of Konkani grandmothers as a quiet, personal devotion.

Why We Celebrate

We celebrate to remind ourselves that not every festival needs noise — some devotion is simply a soft "no thank you" to excess.

Tradition

How Konkani Families Celebrate

Konkani families eat sabudana khichdi, fruit and milk, and skip grains for the day.

Ekadashi is a day for a small "no" — no phone before prayer, maybe. What's your Ekadashi "no"?
