The toughest and most important of all 24 Ekadashis in a year, Nirjala Ekadashi is on June 5 (Monday).

Nirjala Ekadashi also known as Pandava Ekadashi and Bhimseni or Bhima Ekadashi.
In Nirjala Ekadashi, people wake up early in the morning and take bath ahead of worshipping Lord Vishnu. And in order to mental silence, people chant ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’ mantra.
Later, in the evening people again worship Lord Visnu and have dinner at night. Next day (June 6), people call priests and offer them food.
