The sacred Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, is observed on the Ekadashi tithi of Kartik Shukla Paksha. On this day, devotees awaken Lord Vishnu from his four-month divine rest and perform Vishnu Puja, followed by the Tulsi Vivah (the symbolic marriage of Goddess Tulsi and Lord Vishnu’s Shaligram form) in the evening during the Pradosh Kaal.
This year, Dev Uthani Ekadashi Vrat will be observed on November 1, 2025 (Saturday). Devotees following the Vaishnava tradition will observe the fast on November 2, 2025 (Sunday).
Let’s take a look at the auspicious timings (shubh muhurat) for Dev Uthani Ekadashi Puja and Tulsi Vivah in 2025.

Performing Tulsi Vivah on this day brings prosperity, marital harmony, and divine blessings from Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
