There are 24 Ekadasis observed by Hindus during the year. Of these
Vaikunda Ekadasi celebrated in the Tamil month Margazhi (Dec-Jan) is considered
very auspicious. On this day people accompany the Lord to the doors of Heaven
(SorgaVasal, Sorgam - Heaven/Vasal - Doors). In all temples the Sorgavasal will
remain opened on this day. People remain awake the previous night and go to the
temple early in the morning to enter the Sorgavasal. People take up fasting on
this day for all their wishes to come true. It is believed that one who worships
Lord Vishnu on this day will reach Vaikunta (Heaven). This festival is of great
significance at all Balaji Temples especially at Tirupati and Sri Rangam. Vaikunda Ekadasi on 24 Dec 2012
