Jaya Ekadashi fast begins from the Dashami Tithi itself, that is a day before the main fast. The devotees do not eat anything after sunrise, some after the sunset. However, there are some who believe the fast begins only from the Ekadashi Tithi. Either way, the devotees should not eat or drink anything on this day. A whole night vigil should be observed. Priests should be offered food on the next day and then only the observer of the fast should eat anything.

Those who cannot stay without food can also observe a partial fast by eating fruits and taking milk.
