Kamika Ekadashi is the first Ekadashi, which falls during 'Chaturmaas' and hence is considered very auspicious. It is believed that the devotees, who observe Kamika Ekadashi vrat, can get rid of their past sins and can even attain salvation (moksha). Also, as per religious beliefs, it is believed that by observing fast on Kamika Ekadashi, people can get relieved from 'Pitra Dosh’.
