Parsva Ekadashi, also known as Vamana Ekadashi, is a significant Hindu fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. This year, it will occur on Tuesday, September 22. The day commemorates Lord Vamana, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and his pastime with King Bali. Lord Vishnu is believed to turn his sleeping position while resting on Ananta Shesha, earning the day alternative names like Parivartini Ekadashi and Parivartani Ekadashi.
Parsva Ekadashi falls during the Chaturmas period, when Lord Vishnu is believed to take a rest. The Ekadashi tithi begins at 11:30 PM on September 21, 2026, and ends at 01:13 AM on September 23, 2026. The parana time, when the fast is broken, is between 07:30 AM and 07:55 AM on September 23, 2026. The significance of Parsva Ekadashi lies in the story of Lord Vamana, who took on the form of a dwarf Brahmin boy to defeat the demon king Mahabali by requesting three steps of land.
