Yogini Ekadashi fasting story

In ancient times a gardener named Hem lived in the city of Alakapuri in place of King Kubera. His task was to bring flowers daily for the worship of Lord Shiva from Mansarovar. One day, he got a little late to fetch the flowers as he used to spend a lot of time with his wife. He arrived in court late. As a result, Kubera got angry and cursed him to be a leper. Impressed by the curse, he wandered around and fortunately reached the ashram of Rishi Markandeya one day. Using his powers, the sage discovers the reason for his condition and asks him to observe Yogini Ekadashi. Hem's leprosy ended with the effect of the fast and he attained salvation.
