About Jaya Ekadashi

"Hindu devotees consider observing a vrat, or fast, on Jaya Ekadashi will assist in eradicating the sins committed by one. They also believe that doing so will help them achieve salvation or liberation (Moksha). While pious devotees observe a complete fast on this day, some opt for a partial fast. On the day before Jaya Ekadashi, people consume a single meal as a part of preparation for the fast. On Jaya Ekadashi, devotees rise up early and take a bath after which they offer their morning prayers to Lord Vishnu.

The vrat is observed for 24 hours, either full or partial abstinence from food. Foods like rice, grains, honey, and eating in a bell metal plate. However, fruits, nuts, milk products, vegetables and dried fruits can be consumed. Firm Vishnu devotees keep awake during the entire night and spend their time at Vishnu temples by singing hymns or listening to stories devoted to Lord Vishnu. On the next morning, after bathing and offering prayers, a lamp is lit and the vrat is hence broken." See http://festivals.iloveindia.com/rituals/jaya-ekadasi-vrat.html for full article
