Padmini Ekadashi Puja Method: Ekadashi fast is considered one of the most sacred fasts in Sanatan Dharma. Today Padmini Ekadashi is being celebrated across the country. This Ekadashi falls in the Shukla Paksha of Adhik month (Malmas or Purushottam month). There is no fixed lunar month for observing the fast of Padmini Ekadashi. There has been a lot of confusion regarding its fast because Ekadashi has started on 26th May. However, Padmini Ekadashi is coming to an end after sunrise on 27th May. For this reason it is being celebrated on Oriya Tithi. The biggest thing is that the fast will be broken not today but tomorrow i.e. on 28th May.
Actually, Ekadashi tithi comes twice a month. During this time devotees worship with devotion and observe fast. Specifically, this day is considered helpful in peace of mind, physical cleanliness and spiritual development. Many people keep fast on this day and seek blessings of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that fasting on Ekadashi purifies the body and mind. This fast is observed for forgiveness of sins, purity of mind and welfare of the family.

Padmini Ekadashi Vrat Parana Time
The fast of this Ekadashi will not be broken on 27th May. According to Drik Panchang, Dwadashi is ending at 7.56 am on 28th. Before this, devotees can break the fast. However, one thing especially needs to be kept in mind that the fast should be broken only after the sun rises. On May 28, the sun will rise at 5:25 am. In fact, not breaking the Ekadashi fast within the Dwadashi date is considered equivalent to committing a sin.
