What makes it special
It is followed by Varāha Dvādaśī, the appearance of Lord Varāha, and by Nityānanda Trayodaśī. The fast for Varāha is kept on the Ekadashi itself and His feast is held the next day.
How it is kept
As on every Ekadashi, grains and pulses are avoided that day and more time is given to chanting, reading and remembering Krishna. Each person fasts as they can: from grain-free meals to a complete fast. The fast is broken the next morning, within the window shown above, by taking a little grain.
