The date for Jal Jhilani Ekadashi 2023 is September 25.

Parivartini Ekadasi is the name given to this Ekadasi. Jal Zilani, or Jal Jilni, is a popular name in Gujarat, especially within the Swaminarayan sect. In Rajasthan, it is also known as Dol Gyaras Ekadasi and is celebrated in a number of temples.

According to legend, on Jal Jhilani Ekadashi day, Lord Vishnu, who was sleeping during the Chaturmas era, moved sideways from his supine position.
