About Kamika Ekadashi Vrat
According to Hindu beliefs, a devotee observing a vrat on Kamika
Ekadashi is believed to have being blessed more than a person
performing ritual baths in all the sacred rivers in India on auspicious
days.
Also, a devotee completing

from the Lord than one who has visited all Hindu holy places, such as
Kasi, Haridwar, Kedarnath, etc.

For observing the Kamika Ekadashi vrat, the same rituals and customs
apply as that of the other Ekadashi fasts.
