See this day on the patroWhat Shrawan Putrada Ekadashi is
Putrada means giver of children. This Putrada Ekadashi is the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of Shrawan. The Puranas tell of King Mahijit, who had no heir and was blessed with a son after his people kept this fast for him. A second Putrada Ekadashi falls in Poush.
How families keep it
Those who keep the fast eat no grain or pulses that day; many take only fruit, milk and roots, and some take nothing at all. Lord Vishnu is worshipped with tulsi leaves, and the fast is broken the next morning, on Dwadashi.

Each date is the day Nepal keeps the festival. Nepal publishes its patro one year at a time, so a date further ahead can move by a day when that year's patro comes out. For a ceremony, Pandit Ji confirms the day and the muhurta.
