In Sanatana Dharma, Ekadashi holds great importance. Ekadashi is favourite tithi of Lord Krishna and devotees observe "upvas" to be closer to Krishna. In Nepal and India, Ek?da?? is considered a day to cleanse the body, aid repair and rejuvenation and is usually observed by partial or complete fast. High protein and carbohydrate-containing foods such as beans and grains are not consumed by observant people during the fast as it is a day to cleanse the body. Instead, only fruit, vegetables, and milk products are eaten. This period of abstinence starts from sunrise on the day of Ekadasi to sunrise on the following day. Rice is not eaten on Ekadashi.
