Ekadashi November 2025 Date and Time: The sacred festival of Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi or Devutthana Ekadashi, will be observed this year on Saturday, November 1, 2025. According to the Hindu Panchang, the Ekadashi Tithi begins at 09:11 AM on November 1 and ends at 07:31 AM on November 2, 2025.

The Ekadashi Parana, or the ritual breaking of the fast, should be performed between 01:11 PM and 03:24 PM on November 2, 2025.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi, also called Prabodhini Ekadashi, holds immense religious importance in Hinduism. It marks the end of the four-month-long Chaturmas period, during which Lord Vishnu is believed to be in a deep cosmic slumber. On this day, devotees celebrate the awakening of Lord Vishnu, symbolizing the beginning of auspicious events like marriages, housewarmings, and other religious ceremonies.

The term ‘Dev Uthani’ literally means “the awakening of the gods.” It is said that Lord Vishnu wakes up on this day from his divine sleep on the Sheshnag in Kshirsagar (cosmic ocean), and the universe resumes auspicious activities.

• Take a holy bath before sunrise.
• Offer yellow flowers, tulsi leaves, and incense to Lord Vishnu.
• Chant “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” and recite Vishnu Sahasranama.
• Observe a fast (nirjala or phalahar) and break it after the Parana time.
• Perform Tulsi Vivah, symbolizing the marriage of Lord Vishnu (Shaligram) and Tulsi Devi.

Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The Tithi begins at 09:11 AM on November 1 and ends at 07:31 AM on November 2, 2025. The Parana (fast-breaking) period is from 01:11 PM to 03:24 PM on November 2.

On this day, devotees are advised to avoid grains, pulses, non-vegetarian food, onion and garlic, alcohol and untimely breaking of the fast. The atmosphere should be peaceful and devotional, free from conflict or negativity.

This day marks the end of the four-month period of Chaturmas, during which Lord Vishnu is believed to be in cosmic slumber. On Dev Uthani Ekadashi, His “awakening” restores auspiciousness and signals that weddings, housewarmings and other positive rituals can resume.

Devotees observe a fast (vrat), perform early-morning bath and puja of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, recite Vishnu Sahasranama and other prayers, and often perform the symbolic “Tulsi Vivah” ceremony. Fasting is broken during the Parana time on the following day.
