About Mohini Ekadashi
Named for Vishnu's enchanting Mohini avatar, who appeared during the churning of the ocean. It is observed to overcome delusion and attachment and is associated with clarity of mind.
How it is observed
- Grains (rice, wheat, pulses) and beans are traditionally avoided; fruit, milk, nuts, sabudana and kuttu are common.
- Many avoid onion, garlic, meat and alcohol, and keep the day for prayer, japa and reading scripture.
- The fast is broken the next morning (Parana) within the Parana window, after sunrise and before Dwadashi ends.
- If you cannot fast fully, a simple fruit-and-milk day or a sincere partial fast is widely accepted. Elders, children, the unwell and pregnant women are traditionally excused from strict fasting.
Traditional observance and faith, not a guarantee or advice. Follow your own family or temple custom where it differs.
