Kamada Ekadashi is observed on the eleventh day of Shukla Paksha in the Chaitra Masa or month. After the Hindu New Year, the first Ekadashi that is observed is Kamada Ekadashi. The word ‘Kamada’ means ‘fulfilment of all desires’. With the potential of eradicating one’s sins and mistakes, Kamada Ekadashi helps in attaining Swargaloka (heaven) after death. This meritorious fast is also known to bless the married couples with the pleasure of having their own child.
According to the Kamada Ekadashi legend, once there was a Gandharva couple, Lalit and Lalitha. The couple were excellent dancers and singers and used to perform in the court of the king, Pundarika. One day, the king asked Lalit for a solo performance. As he used to love his wife a lot and was missing her; thus, he made mistakes while performing. This act was recognized by a native of king’s court and he informed the king about it. This annoyed the king and he cursed Lalit, due to which he became a demon. The king thought that Lalitha would never accept a demon as her husband. However, the love between the couple was so much that Lalita refused to leave him. Instead, she along with Lalit, started wandering for a solution to help her husband gain back his original form. On their way for help, they came across the Ashram (sacred place) of Sage Shringi. The couple asked Shringi for a solution, on which he suggested them to observe Kamada Ekadashi Vrat. The couple did exactly same and observed Kamada Ekadashi Vrat with extreme devotion. As a result, Lalit got relief from the demon Avatar and came back in his original form.
