Vaikunda Ekadasi/Kuchela Dinam - December 22nd Wednesday

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

Hari Om!

 

December 22nd Wednesday is very special as it is

Vaikunda Ekadasi as well as Kuchela Day.

 

The first Wednesday of the month of 'Dhanu' is

celebrated as Kuchela Dinam. It is based on the belief

that it was on this day that Kuchela, an ardent

devotee of Lord Krishna offered Avil (parched rice) to

him and in return attained eternal bliss and material

property . Avil offering is considered auspicious on

this day.
