Saphala Ekadashi of Paush month will be celebrated on Thursday, 26th December. This is also going to be the last Ekadashi of the year. On the day of Ekadashi, Tulsi leaves must be included in the offering to Lord Vishnu. Just keep in mind that do not pluck Tulsi leaves on this day. And do not offer water to Tulsi on this day either. Because it is believed that on this date, Mother Lakshmi fasts for Lord Vishnu and doing so can disrupt her fast.
