Why should we not eat rice on Ekadashi?
According to a legend, Maharishi Medha left her body to escape the wrath of Mother Shakti. Due to which part of his body got absorbed inside Mother Earth. It is said that the day when Maharishi's body was absorbed into the earth, that day was Ekadashi. It is said that Maharishi Medha took birth on earth in the form of rice and barley. This is the reason that rice and barley are considered as creatures, so rice is not eaten on Ekadashi. According to religious belief, consuming rice on the day of Ekadashi is equivalent to consuming meat and blood of Maharishi Medha.
