Devuthni Ekadashi: 01 November 2025

Devuthni Ekadashi

Devuthni Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, is celebrated on the eleventh day (Ekadashi) of the bright fortnight of the Kartik month. It is believed that on this day, Lord Vishnu wakes up from his four-month-long cosmic sleep, marking the end of Chaturmas. With this, all auspicious ceremonies like weddings and housewarmings begin. The day also holds special significance for performing the Tulsi Vivah, the ceremonial marriage of the holy Tulsi plant with Lord Vishnu (Shaligram). Devotees observe fasting, take holy baths, light lamps, and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu. This festival symbolizes the awakening of divine energy, the beginning of auspicious works, and the arrival of prosperity and positivity in life. It is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across the country.
