Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025: Among the 24 Ekadashis celebrated by Hindus each year, Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also called Prabodhini Ekadashi, holds special spiritual importance. It falls on the Ekadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik and marks the day when Lord Vishnu awakens from his four-month-long divine rest, known as Chaturmas, rising from the Ksheer Sagar (Ocean of Milk) to bless his devotees once again.

According to the Drik Panchang, “Parana” is the ritual of breaking the fast and it is performed after sunrise on the day following Ekadashi. It must be done within the Dwadashi Tithi, unless the tithi ends before sunrise. On this sacred day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu with deep devotion, seeking blessings for prosperity and spiritual upliftment.

As per Hindu tradition, Dev Uthani Ekadashi also marks the divine wedding of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Tulsi, who is believed to be the earthly incarnation of Vrinda. Devotees perform the Tulsi Vivah ceremony with great reverence, as it is believed to bring happiness, peace, and marital harmony into their lives.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025: Puja Vidhi 

On the day of Dev Uthani Ekadashi, devotees worship Lord Vishnu during an auspicious time at night. To celebrate the occasion, people decorate their homes with rangoli made of lime and geru and set up sugarcane pavilions. The Shaligram form of Lord Vishnu is offered new clothes and a janeu (sacred thread), and devotees chant mantras to awaken Shrihari. As part of the rituals, 11 diyas are lit in honor of the gods and goddesses, marking the sacred significance of the day.

On this sacred day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu wearing white or yellow clothes. They offer fruits and fragrant flowers to the deity and begin the day with a holy bath while chanting Vishnu mantras. Many devotees also observe a fast that starts on Dashami, the day before Ekadashi, and continues until Dwadashi after the Parana Muhurat.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi marks the awakening of Lord Vishnu after a four-month period of divine rest known as Chaturmas. It is believed that fasting and praying on this day cleanse one’s past sins, whether done knowingly or unknowingly, and leads the devotee toward peace and spiritual liberation (moksha).
