Ekadasi Viratham [fasting] is practised by the followers of
Lord Vishnu as a step to attain a place in Vaikuntam. Ekadasi vratham is a 3
day vrat which starts on Dashami [10 th Lunar day] and concludes on Dwadasi[12
th Lunar day]. On Dashami and Dwadasi we should eat only twice and on Ekadasi
it is complete upavasam [we should not eat anything]. On all three days, Lord
MahaVishnu name is chanted and prayers are to be performed. Dwadasi is the day
after ekadasi , Paaranai is breaking the fast. One should break the fast after
the sunrise of the dwadasi, after the first quarter of the dwadasi tithi has
passed, but before the dwadasi tithi has ended. If there’s insufficient time,
the fasting can be broken with a Thulasi water. The people who fasted on
Ekadasi day will have Dwadasi Paaranai – special meal to finish the fasting. The
paaranai should not involve tamarind, tomatoes, plaintains and are made to ease
the system after fasting and to balance the acidity levels. Please check out the list of Dhuvadasi Paaranai iterms and how to prepare them with step by step photos
