Parivartini Ekadasi is on September 26 in 2012. Vamana Avatar of Lord Vishnu is worshipped on this Ekadashi day. Parshva Parivartini Ekadasi or Vamana Ekadashi is observed on the eleventh day during Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapad month. It is believed that the Vamana Avatar took place during this period and therefore, the Ekadasi is also known as Vamana Ekadashi.

Ekadashi fasting on both days is suggested for staunch devotees who seek for love and affection of Lord Vishnu. The Hindu devotees also believe that Lord Vishnu had changed his position of sleep on this day from left side to right side. So changing is called as parivarthanam. Ekadasi happens during the Dakshinayana Punyakalam. Parshva Ekadashi is one of the Ekadashi vratas that falls during Chaturmas period.

Indra worshiped lord vishnu to returning the heavan from bali chakravarthy. King Bali is doing a yagnam Supreme Lord came in Vamanadev form, the dwarf incarnation, whose eyes are like lotus petals. Vamanadev asked 3 steps of land, when king bali accepted to give he became large and In the first step, Lord Vamana covered the heaven and in the second step he measured the earth and there was no place to keep the third step. King Bali bowed his head and asked Lord Vamana to place the third step on this head.
