Anant Chaturdashi 2025: The festival of Anant Chaturdashi holds special significance for devotees of Lord Vishnu, as the Anant form of the God is worshipped on this day.
While some people fast on this day, many worship Lord Vishnu and offer him his favorite things. While worshipping Lord Vishnu, an Anant Sutra with 14 knots is tied on the arm. It is believed that Lord Vishnu resides in the Anant Sutra, and these 14 knots are linked to 14 worlds.
