Today 23 December 2023 marks the celebration of Vaikunda Ekadashi or Vaikuntha Ekadashi.
On this day, devotees recite Vishnu Sahasranamam at their home or in groups in a temple.
The day marks the opening of the Vaikuntha dwaram, or the gate of Vaikuntha, which is believed to be where Lord Vishnu lives.
Devotees avoid eating full meals, including rice on this day as they spend the day reciting the names of Lord Vishnu and participate in bhajans or meditation programs.
Devotees break their fast by limiting their diet to fruits and milk-based foods.
