**MUMBAI, INDIA – [Date of Publication]** – Devotees across India will observe Vaikuntha Ekadashi, an auspicious Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Vishnu, on Friday, January 10, 2025. This significant religious event, also known as Mukkoti Ekadashi, marks the opening of the Vaikuntha Dwaram, the gate to Lord Vishnu’s inner sanctum. Observing a fast and performing rituals on this day is believed to bring salvation and spiritual growth.
The festival falls during the Dhanur solar month (Margashirsha or Pausha in the lunar calendar) and its timing varies slightly each year based on astronomical calculations. Many devotees will participate in fasting (Vrat), followed by a breaking of the fast (Parana) the next day. Key temples, such as the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, are expected to see increased attendance, with special observances planned. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) will reportedly offer a 10-day ‘Vaikunta Dwara Darshan’ at the temple commencing on January 10th.
