Do's and Don'ts while fasting on Nirjala Ekadashi

1. On the day of Nirjala Ekadashi, one should not brush their teeth with a tree's twig or datun because it is believed that Lord Vishnu gets angry if we break the twigs of a tree on the day of Ekadashi.
2. Being lazy and not doing anything on the day of Nirjala Ekadashi is considered taboo. So don't do this on this day. 
3. One should not sleep on the bed on Ekadashi night. If you do this it is said that you will not get the fruits of your fast.
4. Do not use rice during worship. Use sesame seeds instead of rice. According to the scriptures, consuming rice on Ekadashi brings restlessness in the mind, due to which the mind can wander. 
5. Offer Bhog to Lord Vishnu with Tulsi Dal on this day.
6. Do not use wrong words with anyone on the day of Ekadashi and keep your mind calm. 
7. On this day a person should not consume things like meat, alcohol. Rather, only sattvik food should be eaten on this day.
