Rituals followed on Varuthini Ekadashi
The rituals followed on Varuthini Ekadashi are similar to the other Ekadashis that fall in an year. Devotees wake up early, preferably in the Brahma Muhurat, and then cleanse themselves with some water and Gangajal. The Puja room or the home temple is then cleaned well, including the ‘sthaan’ of the Gods, and every idol, image, and murti, is cleaned before starting the puja.
Then devotees offer flowers, fruits, incense, and tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu, and then light a diya while chanting mantras and hymns.
