It is highly significant for devotion to Lord Vishnu, granting immense spiritual merit, liberation from sins, and fulfillment of desires such as having children.

It is considered equivalent to performing great sacrifices, as it is a rare opportunity to please Lord Shri Narayana and attain salvation.

Devotees of Vishnu typically observe this difficult fast and perform special worship of Lord Vishnu, who is also known as Purushottam, hence it is also called Purushottami Ekadashi.
