During Kanwar in Sawan, devotees of Mahadev (Kavadiyas) start a journey to collect the holy water of Ganga from Haridwar, Gomukh, and Gangotri and perform Abhishek of Lord Shiva on Sawan Shivratri.
When is Yogini, Devshayani and Kamika Ekadashi in July? (July 2024 Ekadashi)
There is a coincidence of 3 Ekadashis in July, which include Yogini Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha of Ashadh month, Devshayani Ekadashi of Ashadh month and Kamika Ekadashi of Sawan month. Lord Vishnu’s sleeping period starts from Devshayani Ekadashi. This day is very special. Gods sleep on this day. The Ekadashi falling in the month of Shravan is known as Kamika Ekadashi. It is believed that just by listening to the story of this Ekadashi, one gets the same results as Vajpayee Yagya.
