Organized by the Ashadi Ekadashi Utsav Mandal, these celebrations transform Mumbai’s Churchgate railway station into a center of spiritual activity. The event includes traditional phugadi dances, kirtans, and rituals that bring together a diverse group of participants, including devotees, daily commuters, and local police personnel. The station is often decorated with lights to create a festive and devotional atmosphere for the public.

The event commemorates Ashadi Ekadashi, also known as Devshayani Ekadashi, a significant Hindu festival occurring in the lunar month of Ashadha. This day marks the beginning of Chaturmas, a four-month period where Lord Vishnu is believed to enter a state of cosmic sleep. Devotees observe the day through fasting and prayers, seeking prosperity and spiritual well-being.
