Those who fast on Dhanurmasa Shukla Ekadashi in order to reach Vaikuntha have received Lord Vishnu's blessing. One is not supposed to eat anything made of rice on the day of Vaikuntha Ekadashi since it is stated that Mura hides in rice on that day. On this auspicious day, complete fasting is performed. The majority of followers will fast completely for the entire day while also consuming milk and fruits. Whole grains and rice are not eaten. Food that isn't vegetarian is absolutely forbidden. According to the Vishnu Purana, fasting on this day is the same as fasting on the other 23 Ekadashis. Only after the Sunrise devotionals can break their fast the following day.
