Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, a revered Hindu observance, is celebrated twice each year, with each occurrence holding unique significance and traditions. The festival falls on the 11th day (Ekadashi) of the waxing phase of the moon in two distinct lunar months: during the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase) of Paush and Shravan. While both are known as Putrada Ekadashi, they are observed differently across regions and communities. Shravan Shukla Paksha Ekadashi occurs in July or August; this variant is more prominent in other parts of India. Shravana Putrada Ekadashi 2024 falls on July 16. It is also referred to as Pavitropana Ekadashi or Pavitra Ekadashi among the Vaishnava community. Devotees also share Shravana Putrada Ekadashi wishes and greetings!

Devotees observing Putrada Ekadashi refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise on the day of Ekadashi until sunset on the following day, which is known as Dwadashi. The day is marked by performing various rituals and pujas. Devotees conduct a detailed puja with offerings to Lord Vishnu. The ritual typically includes the Panchopachara Seva, where five sacred items are offered. After the puja, an abhishek (ritual bath) with Panchamrit, a mixture of milk, curd, honey, sugar, and ghee, is performed.
The fast is broken on Dwadashi, the day following Ekadashi, and is known as Parana. It is essential to break the fast after sunrise and within the Dwadashi Tithi.
