Rituals: The vrat observer wakes up early in the morning and takes bath. Devotees offer Tulsi leaves, flowers, dhoop and lamp to Lord Vishnu. Sweets are prepared for this occasion and offered to the Lord.

They also recite Apara Ekadashi vrat katha. ‘Aarti’ is then performed and the ‘Prasad’ is distributed among other devotees.
