Utpanna Ekadashi 2026 Date

Utpanna Ekadashi is the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi that follows Kartik Purnima. After Devutthana Ekadashi, it is the following Ekadashi.

Utpanna Ekadashi is a notable Ekadashi since it is linked with the beginning of Ekadashi fasting. All Ekadashi fasting is devoted to Goddess Ekadashi, one of Lord Vishnu's Shaktis. Ekadashi was created by Lord Vishnu to destroy Demon Mur, who planned to slay the sleeping Lord Vishnu. As a result, Goddess Ekadashi is one of Lord Vishnu's protection powers. Goddess Vaishnavi is another Lord Vishnu power and a component of Sapta Matrika.

Hence Ekadashi's birth anniversary is celebrated on Utpanna Ekadashi. Devotees who commit to fast yearly begin Ekadashi fasting on Utpanna Ekadashi.
