Things To Avoid On Utpanna Ekadashi

Avoid Lies and Deception: Speaking untruths or deceiving others, even unintentionally, is considered highly inauspicious on this day. Such actions can nullify the benefits of the fast and may displease Lord Vishnu.

Avoid Garlic and Onion: Prepare only sattvic (pure) food at home. Consumption of tamasic foods like garlic, onion, meat, and alcohol can break the sanctity of the fast.

Control Anger and Harsh Words: Observing the fast while losing temper or speaking harshly to others can displease Lord Vishnu. Such behavior may prevent the devotee from receiving the full benefits of the fast.

Do Not Refuse Charity: If someone asks for help at your doorstep or you come across someone in need, donate food, clothes, or money according to your capacity. Giving charity on this day is highly encouraged.

Avoid Eating Rice: Eating rice is strictly prohibited on Ekadashi. Even accidentally consuming it can affect the fast. Rice can be consumed the following day, on Dwadashi.
