According to the Hindu Panchang, the Shukla Paksha Dwadashi Tithi of Jyeshtha month is celebrated as Champaka Dwadashi. Champaka Dwadashi is especially popular in Odisha, Bengal and the nearby regions. On this day, devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Vishnu with deep devotion to seek His divine blessings. Champaka Dwadashi is also known as Champa Dwadashi and Ramalakshmana Dwadashi.
Champaka Dwadashi Tithi is dedicated to Lord Shri Hari Vishnu. The scriptures describe the special significance of worshipping the Lord Vishnu with Champaka or Champa flowers on this day. In temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna, elaborate rituals, worship and Abhisheka are performed on the day of Champaka Dwadashi.
According to traditional belief, the Champaka flower is extremely dear to Lord Vishnu. Worshipping Shri Hari with Champaka flowers on this auspicious day destroys one's sins and grants the four goals of life, i.e., Dharma (righteousness), Artha (prosperity), Kama (desire) and Moksha (liberation). A devotee who observes this fast uplifts his entire lineage and ultimately attains Moksha.
The Vishnu Dharmottara Purana also mentions that a devotee who worships the Lord with Champaka flowers on this day attains beauty, radiance, wisdom and devotion. The merits of this Vrat are everlasting and it is regarded as one of the most auspicious among all Dwadashi fasts.
For the ritual procedure of this observance, refer to the Ramalakshmana Dwadashi Vrat performed on the Jyeshtha Shukla Dwadashi.
