According to the Hindu Panchang, the Krishna Paksha Dwadashi that comes fifteen days after the Ashwina Shukla Padmanabha Dwadashi is called Krishna Padmanabha Dwadashi. As its name suggests, this Dwadashi is dedicated to Lord Padmanabha. Padmanabha is one of the many sacred names of Lord Vishnu.
The word Padmanabha means, One from whose navel the lotus has arisen or One whose navel resembles a lotus flower. According to Hindu beliefs, at the beginning of creation, a divine Lotus emerged from the navel of Lord Vishnu, and from this lotus, Lord Brahma was born, who then undertook the task of creating the universe.
According to the Bhavishya Purana, the Govatsa Dwadashi Vrat is also observed on this day. During this fast, cows and their calves are worshiped with great devotion.
For the detailed procedure of this fast, refer to the Padmanabha Dwadashi observed on Ashwina Shukla Dwadashi.
