Mokshada Ekadashi is a significant Sanatan observance centred on Gita. Devotees keep vows, worship, and give charity to purify daily life.

Why it is celebrated

The day is kept because Gita teaches duty, devotion, and balance. Families and communities express reverence together.

The katha

Puranic accounts linked to Mokshada Ekadashi speak through Gita of protecting dharma and protecting the devotee.

Stories & episodes

Rituals & customs

Bathing and worship, mantra japa, fasting or fruit, lamp offerings, and traditional prasad linked to Gita.
