Indira Ekadashi today: Donating in remembrance of ancestors is fruitful
The special thing about Indira Ekadashi is that it falls in Pitru Paksha, due to which its importance becomes very high. It is believed that if any ancestors knowingly or unknowingly are suffering the punishment of their deeds with Yamraj, then fasting on this Ekadashi ritually and donating in his name leads to their salvation.
