Nirjala Ekadashi

(

)

... that Hindus fast without food or water on Nirjala Ekadashi in the hot Indian summer to propitiate the god Vishnu (pictured)?

Article is new enough and long enough. The hook is short enough and supported by in-line citations to reliable sources. Hook is also interesting enough. Did not know the word propitiate (which is not used in the article) but after looking it up, the usage here appears to be accurate. Some sources off-line, but good faith assumed on the part of established contributor Redtigerxyz. Article is generally well-written and sourced. Spot-check showed no evidence of copyright violation. QPQ completed. Looks good. Cbl62 (talk) 23:07, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
