Being the abode of Lord Vishnu, the idol is worshipped right beneath the tree, which is why it is called ostensibly. On this day, make a scrub paste of Amla, bathe with its water, do Amla Pujan, consume it and donate.

Mythological Legend

In ancient times, a king called Chitrasen used to rule a kingdom. In his rule, Amalaki Ekadashi vrat was considered a significant event with residents carrying out the fast.

Once, the king went deep for hunting in the wilderness. Suddenly, some bandits surrounded him, and attacked him. But with the blessings of God, every weapon hurled towards him got transformed into flowers.

Due to high numbers of bandits, king lost control and fell down unconscious on the ground. Suddenly, a divine power rose from the king’s body, killed all the evil men and became invisible. After regaining consciousness, the king found all the bandits dead and became very surprised. Suddenly there came a divine announcement,

O King, all of these bandits are dead just because of you fasting on Amalaki Ekadashi. A Vaishnavi power rose from your body and massacred them. After killing them, it went back inside your body.

The king became very happy and thankful and told everyone in his kingdom about the significance of amalaki ekadashi.
