On the Ekadasi day, devotees observe complete fast. The day is meant for hearing religious discourses and performing pujas. There are also devotees who do not observe total fast. They avoid grains especially rice and consume fruits, nuts and milk. The fasting comes to an end on the Dwadashi day with the consuming of food cooked in one’s house.
