PUTRADA EKADASHI: TODAY

Putrada Ekadashi is one out of 24 Ekadashis in a year. Ekadashi is the day when Sri Vishnu is worshipped.

Putrada means giver of a son. The story of Putrada Ekadasi or Pausha-Shukla Ekadasi is from Bhavishya Purana.
@SriRamya21
Bhadravati was ruled by King Suketumaan. He and his wife Shaibya were unhappy as they did not have a son. One day, out of depression, the King rode off on his horse without informing Shaibya. By midday, in the forest, he started feeling thirsty and hungry.

Wandering in the forest, he saw a pond with blooming Lilies and Rishi Ashrams near it. He saw some Rishis who were reciting mantras on beads. They identified themselves as the ten Vishvadevas and advised the King to follow Putrada Ekadashi fast to appease Sri Vishnu.
The King observed the fast with devotion and returned to his kingdom. With Sri Vishnu’s blessings, he was blessed with an illustrious son.

The story of Putrada Ekadashi was narrated by Krishna to Yudhishthir. Usually, on this day, the child form of Krishna is worshipped.
