Devuthani Ekadashi 2025: Among the 24 Ekadashis celebrated by Hindus each year, Devuthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, holds special spiritual significance. It falls on the Ekadashi tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik and is the day when Lord Vishnu wakes up from his four-month divine rest, known as Chaturmas, and rises from the Kshir Sagar (Ocean of Milk) to bless his devotees once again.
According to Drik Panchang, “Paran” is the ritual of breaking the fast and it is performed after sunrise on the next day of Ekadashi. This should be done within the Dwadashi tithi only, as long as the tithi ends before sunrise. On this holy day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu with deep devotion, seeking blessings for prosperity and spiritual upliftment.
According to Hindu tradition, Devuthani Ekadashi also marks the divine marriage of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Tulsi, who is considered to be the earthly incarnation of Vrinda. Devotees perform the Tulsi Vivaah ceremony with great reverence, as it is believed that it brings happiness, peace and marital harmony in their lives.

Devuthani Ekadashi 2025: Puja method
On the day of Devuthani Ekadashi, devotees worship Lord Vishnu at auspicious time at night. To celebrate the occasion, people decorate their homes with rangoli made of lemon and ochre, and set up sugarcane pavilions. The Shaligram form of Lord Vishnu is offered new clothes and sacred thread, and devotees chant mantras to awaken Srihari. As part of the rituals, 11 lamps are lit in honor of the gods and goddesses, signifying the sacred significance of the day.
On this holy day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu by wearing white or yellow clothes. They offer fruits and fragrant flowers to the deity and start the day with a holy bath while chanting Vishnu mantras. Many devotees also observe a fast which starts on Dashami, a day before Ekadashi and continues till Dwadashi after Paran Muhurta.
Devuthani Ekadashi marks the awakening of Lord Vishnu after four months of divine rest known as Chaturmas. It is believed that fasting and praying on this day washes away one’s past sins, whether committed intentionally or unintentionally, and leads the devotee to peace and spiritual liberation (moksha).
