In Sanatan Dharma, Ekadashi vrat (fast) holds immense importance. However, among these, Nirjala Ekadashi is considered the most challenging and supreme fast. This fast is observed every year on the Ekadashi tithi (date) of the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon) in the Jyeshtha month. During this period, devotees observe a fast without consuming water or food, worshipping Lord Vishnu. Since this fast is observed during the summer season, it is called *Nirjala* (without water) as devotees abstain from both food and water. It is believed that if a person is unable to complete the fasts for all 24 Ekadashis of the year, observing Nirjala Ekadashi with devotion grants the merits of all the Ekadashis of the year.
