Mohini Ekadashi History

On the Ekadashi Tithi, Lord Vishnu assumed the form of Mohini to aid the Gods, according to popular belief. When the ocean was churned, nectar was freed, and the Gods and Demons began to fight over it. Both of them want the nectar for the benefits it provides.

Lord Vishnu chose to solve the problem by taking the form of Mohini, who served as a convenient distraction for the demons. The Gods were able to devour all of the nectar as a result of this. The Mahabharata epic makes reference to Mohini Ekadashi as well.
