Ashadhi Ekadashi, also known as Shayani Ekadashi, Devshayani Ekadashi, Maha-Ekadashi and Hari Shayani Ekadashi, occurs during the Shukla paksha or waxing phase of the moon on the Hindu lunar month of Ashada. According to Hindu Calendar, Ashadhi Ekadashi 2022 falls on Sunday, July 10. The holy festival commemorates the beginning of the sacred Chaturmas period consisting of Shravan, Bhadrapad, Ashwin and Kartik maas. The devotees celebrate Maha-Ekadashi by worshipping Lord Vishnu. It is believed that Lord Vishnu goes into slumber in Ksheersagar, the cosmic ocean of milk on Shesh Naga, for a holy period of four months known as Chaturmas. God Vishnu gets up from sleep on the day of Prabodhini Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the bright fortnight in the Hindu month Kartik.

Shayani Ekadashi is often regarded as the holiest of all Ekadashi days by Hindus, especially the Vaishnava denomination, who consider Lord Vishnu as the supreme God. This Ekadasi is observed as Toli Ekadasi in South India. Tapta Mudra Dharana is performed on the festival day, which is the practice of stamping mudra or seal with the symbol of Srihari Vishnu on the body.
