Shwetambar
Maun Ekadashi
It marks a hundred and fifty kalyanaks falling on this one tithi: Aranath’s diksha; Mallinath’s birth, diksha and kevaljnana; Neminath’s kevaljnana — five Bharat and five Airavat kshetras across three chaubisis. It is kept in total silence, with pausadha vrat, fasting, devvandan and meditation, and the story of Suvrat Sheth.
