Papmochani Ekadashi 2026: Today is the fast of Papamochani Ekadashi. This fast is considered to liberate one from all sins and bring happiness and prosperity in life. Lord Vishnu becomes very happy by worshiping and fasting on this day. According to astrology and Vastu, donating lamps on this day also has special significance. On the evening of Ekadashi, lamps should be lit at special places in the house.
It is believed that by lighting lamps at these places in the house on the evening of Ekadashi, negative energy gets destroyed and Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu reside there. In such a situation, let us know about these special places in the house.
Light lamps at these places in the evening on Papmochani Ekadashi
At the main entrance of the house: On Papmochani Ekadashi, light a ghee lamp on either side or right side of the main entrance of the house in the evening. By doing this, negative forces are not able to enter the house.
Near Tulsi: Light a ghee lamp near the root of Tulsi in the evening on the day of Ekadashi. Tulsi is considered the most favorite of Lord Vishnu.
In front of Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi: On the day of Ekadashi, during the evening puja, light a Akhand Jyot or a big lamp in front of Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi. This brings purity in the environment of the house.
In the kitchen: On Ekadashi, light a lamp in the kitchen where there is drinking water. It is believed that by lighting a lamp instead of drinking water, there is never any shortage of money and grains in the house and one gets the blessings of the ancestors.
In the north-east: North-east corner is considered to be the place of gods. Lighting a lamp here is considered extremely fruitful. On the day of Ekadashi, clean the north-east corner of the house and light a lamp there. Lighting a lamp here removes Vaastu defects.
