2020 Pausha Putrada Ekadashi Date and Time, 2020 Pausha Putrada Ekadashi Festival Schedule and Calendar
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is a Hindu holy day, which falls on the 11th lunar day (Ekadashi) of the fortnight of the waxing moon in the Hindu month of Pausha (December–January). This day is also known as Pausha Putrada Ekadashi, to differentiate it from the other Putrada Ekadashi in Shravana (July–August), which is also called Shravana Putrada Ekadashi. Couples fast on this day and worship the God Vishnu for a good son. This day is especially observed by Vaishnavas, followers of Vishnu. A son is considered entirely important in Hindu society as he takes care of the parents in their old age in life and by offering shraddha (ancestor rites) ensures well-being of his parents in the after-life.
