Ekadashi has been called paramount in fasting. Ekadashi is considered a day to cleanse, repair and rejuvenate the body and is usually observed by partial or complete fasting. Fasting should be started with devotion. Don't do fasting under someone's pressure.
Ekadashis of Chaitra, Vaishakh, Magha, and Margashirsha are considered auspicious times to start Ekadashi fast. A person who is at least eight years old should observe the fast so that he can understand the true value of the fast. This fast is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
