Devotees throng temples to observe Tholi Ekadasi in Vijayawada

The temples in the region were abuzz with devotees offering special prayers to Lord Vishnu on the occasion of ‘Tholi Ekadasi’, on Wednesday. Also known as ‘Sayana Ekadasi’, the day was observed with religious fervour in the city and other parts of the Kirshna, NTR and Eluru districts. ‘Tholi Ekadasi’ which marks the beginning of the Chaturmasya, is considered the most auspicious day in the month of Ashadam. It is believed that Lord Maha Vishnu will be in ‘yoga nidra’, the celestial sleep mode, for four months between the Ashadam and Karteekam months, as per the Telugu calendar and the sun begins to move southward from Toli Ekadasi.
