Vaikunta Ekadasi Vaikunta Dwaara Darshan Importance
Vaikuntam is the abode where the supreme power Sri Maha Vishnu resides on the cosmic abyss carried by Aadisesha. During Ekadasi and Dwadasi celestial beings like Maharshis, Devas and Prajapatis visit Sri Maha Vishnu at Vaikuntam to seek blessings. Normally to see Sri Maha Vishnu one must pass through gates guarded by Jaya and Vijaya. However on these specific dates these gates are open for all celestial beings to have direct darshan of the Lord.
Visiting any Vaishnava temple on these two days enhances the blessings received from Sri Maha Vishnu manifold compared to regular days.
Tirumala is the only temple constructed with Vaikunta Dwaram in its inner precincts. The Srivari temple also known as Ananda Nilayam, has a separate gate called Vaikunta Dwaram. During the darshan timings on January 2nd, devotees are permitted to enter the temple through Vaikunta Dwaram instead of the Golden Vaakili (main entrance). This special arrangement continues for the following 9 days after Vaikunta Ekadasi, facilitating Vaikunta Darshanam for all devotees.
