Religious beliefs state that giving donations on this day ensures that devotees never face scarcity in life.
In Sanatan Dharma, Ekadashi Tithi is considered highly sacred for seeking the blessings of Lord Vishnu. The Ekadashi that falls during the Shukla Paksha of the Phalguna month is known as Rangbhari Ekadashi or Amlaki Ekadashi. This auspicious day is dedicated to both Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.
Ekadashi fasting is observed twice a month, once during Krishna Paksha and once during Shukla Paksha. Rangbhari Ekadashi, observed in the Phalguna month, is believed to grant devotees freedom from all sins and help them attain Moksha (liberation). What makes this festival special is its connection to both Lord Vishnu and Shiva-Parvati.
As per mythology, on this day, Lord Shiva brought Goddess Parvati to Kashi and applied gulal (colored powder) to her, which is why it is celebrated as Rangbhari Ekadashi.
