In India, known for its deep cultural and religious values, a farmer and engineer from Mulshi village in Pune has created a 120-foot image of Lord Vithal using paddy plants on his farm. This beautiful tribute has gone viral on social media, adding a special touch to this year's Ashadhi Ekadashi celebrations.
The viral video has crossed millions of views across various social media platforms, with people expressing heartfelt messages praising the person for his beautiful dedication to Lord Vithal.
Ashadhi Ekadashi, also known as Devshayani Ekadashi, holds great religious significance among Hindus. It is considered one of the most auspicious Ekadashi and is a sacred day for performing rituals associated with Lord Vishnu.
In 2024, Ashadhi Ekadashi falls on July 17, which is the 11th day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashadha.
Pilgrims from across Maharashtra and beyond make long journeys to Pandharpur twice a year on Ashadhi Ekadashi and Kartiki Ekadashi to offer prayers to Lord Vithal.
