Indira Ekadashi Vrat Katha

During Satyug, a king named Indersena ruled the city of Mahishmati. His parents had died. One night he dreamed that his parents were experiencing extreme pain and sufferings in hell. The King got worried by the plight of his forefathers. He thought of ways to free them from the tortures of hell. He discussed the dream with his ministers and Brahmin scholars who said - : O Rajan! If you perform the fast of Indira Ekadashi along with your wife, then your forefathers will attain salvation. On this day, worship Lord Shaligram with Basil leaves, etc and offer food and donation to Brahmins. With their blessings, your parents will go to heaven.”

Following their advice, the King along with his wife perform the fast of Indira Ekadashi ritually. At night when he was sleeping, God appeared and said to him - “ Rajan! Your forefathers have attained salvation from the influence of your fast.” Since then only, the importance of Indira Ekadashi Vrat increased.
