About Parama Ekadashi
Like Padmini, it comes only in a year with an adhik maas.
What it is kept for
The Ekadashi of the adhik month; in its katha it brought an end to want.
Parama Ekadashi vrat katha
In Kampilya lived a poor brahmin, Sumedha, and his wife Pavitra, who were generous even in poverty. Sumedha wanted to go to a far country to earn, but his wife said that what comes to a home comes by merit, and asked him to stay.
The sage Kaundinya came to their door; they fed him what little they had. He told them to keep the Parama Ekadashi of the adhik month. They kept it, and their want came to an end.
Retold from the Ekadashi Mahatmya in the Uttara Khanda of the Padma Purana, where Shri Krishna tells Yudhishthira the story and the merit of each Ekadashi.
Vrat vidhi
Vishnu is worshipped as Purushottam, the lord of the adhik maas.
Beyond that, it is kept as every Ekadashi is: one sattvik meal without rice on Dashami, the sankalp at dawn, Vishnu’s puja with tulsi picked the day before, the katha, and no grain until parana, with fruit, milk, sabudana, kuttu and singhara in its place. The Ekadashi page has every step and the full lists of what to eat and avoid.
When to break the fast
Hari Vasara, the first quarter of Dwadashi, is over by 10 Apr, 12:13 AM, before sunrise, so the fast is broken in pratahkal, the first fifth of the day: 6:01 AM to 8:33 AM on Tuesday, 10 April, in New Delhi.

Which month is Parama Ekadashi in?
Adhik Chaitra Krishna Ekadashi, in the North Indian Purnimanta calendar.
Can I drink water on Ekadashi?
Yes, unless you have taken the nirjala sankalp. Most families keep Ekadashi with water and fruit (phalahar); only Nirjala Ekadashi in Jyeshtha is traditionally kept without water. Decide which kind of fast you are keeping at the sankalp.
Why is rice not eaten on Ekadashi?
Tradition keeps every grain out of the Ekadashi fast, and rice most of all; the Puranas say that on this day sin takes refuge in grain. Families who do not fast still usually skip rice that day.
What is parana, and what if I miss the time?
Parana is breaking the fast on Dwadashi, within the time given for each date. If the window passes, break it as soon as you can while Dwadashi lasts, with water and a little prasad. Breaking it after Dwadashi has ended is what tradition counts as a fault.
