आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

Religious observance falling on the
eleventh day (ekadashi) of the dark
(waning) half of the lunar month of
Chaitra (March–April). The name
Papamochani means “freeing from
evil,” and the faithful observance of
this festival is believed to do exactly
that. As with all the eleventh-day
observances, it is dedicated to the
worship of Vishnu. Most Hindu festivals
have certain prescribed rites, which
usually involve fasting (upavasa) and
worship (puja), and often promise specific benefits for faithful performance.
On this day one should worship Vishnu
with the full complement of the sixteen
upacharas (“offerings”).
