The fast of Parivartani Ekadashi is observed annually on the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada.
This Ekadashi is considered special because, according to religious beliefs, Lord Vishnu changes his side during his yoganidra in Ksheer Sagar on this day.
In Treta Yuga, the demon king Bali took control of heaven, prompting the deities to seek help from Lord Vishnu, who then took his Vamana avatar to subdue Bali and send him to Patal Lok.
