FAQs

A proven, traditionally transmitted observance should be practiced—especially the Dvādaśī vigil dedicated to Viṣṇu.

The immediate verse focuses on the vrata; the surrounding Dvārakā Māhātmya frames it within Dvārakā’s sacred greatness.

Perform the Dvādaśī jāgara (night vigil) on Viṣṇu-vāsara (Viṣṇu’s holy day).
