Kamada Ekadasi is a Hindu holy day, which falls on the 11th lunar day (ekadashi) of the fortnight of the waxing moon in the Hindu month of Chaitra (March–April). It is the first ekadashi after the Hindu New Year and as its name Kamada suggests, is believed to grant all desires. The religious merit gained from this vrat is believed to grant all desires, to cleanse even the most heinous sin one committed (like murder of a Brahmin) and to free the devotee or his family members from curses. After taking bath in the morning of Kamada ekadashi, the devotee observes a fast.
