According to the Hindu calendar, Dev Uthani Ekadashi will be observed on November 1, 2025. Celebrated every year on the Ekadashi tithi of Kartik Shukla Paksha, this sacred day is also known as Dev Prabodhini Ekadashi. On this day, it is believed that Lord Vishnu awakens from his four-month-long divine sleep (Chaturmas). Worshipping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi on this occasion is said to absolve all sins and bring prosperity and peace to one’s life.
Along with Lord Vishnu’s worship, special rituals dedicated to Goddess Tulsi are also performed on this day. Tulsi is considered an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi herself, and performing certain sacred remedies on Dev Uthani Ekadashi is believed to bring immense blessings and financial abundance.
1. Offer Tulsi Leaves in BhogDuring the Vishnu puja on Dev Uthani Ekadashi, devotees should offer Tulsi leaves along with the bhog (food offering). It is believed that this pleases Lord Vishnu, who fulfills all desires. However, Tulsi leaves should not be plucked on the day of Ekadashi. Instead, they should be picked a day before and kept aside for worship.
