Rice intake
Rice should never be consumed on Ekadashi. There is a mythological belief that eating rice on Ekadashi makes one guilty of sin. Rice should only be eaten on Dwadashi, the next day, the day of breaking the fast.
plucking basil
Tulsi leaves should not be plucked or touched on Ekadashi. Tulsi is considered a symbol of Goddess Lakshmi, and on this day, she observes a waterless fast for Lord Vishnu. Therefore, touching or plucking them is tantamount to breaking her fast. Therefore, pluck Tulsi leaves a day in advance for use in worship.
Eating tamasic food
Garlic, onions, meat, and alcohol should not be consumed on Ekadashi. Non-fasting family members should also avoid tamasic foods on this day. It is said that this food is considered impure and destroys the sanctity of the puja.
bad mouthing
On this day, one should avoid lying to anyone, speaking harsh words, or engaging in arguments. The Ekadashi fast is observed not only with the body, but also with the mind and speech. Anger and negativity can destroy the virtuous benefits of the fast.
sleeping during the day
One should not sleep during the day after sunrise on Ekadashi. According to scriptures, sleeping during the day negates the benefits of the fast. However, staying awake at night on this day is considered very auspicious.
