It is the day of Dev Uthani Ekadashi. The house is swept and cleaned in the morning, the puja ghar is decorated, and a diya is lit in front of Lord Vishnu. Flowers, Tulsi leaves, fruits, and other puja samagri are kept ready. In some homes, a small rangoli is made near the entrance, and the evening is spent with aarti and prayers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those keeping the vrat, the day starts with an early bath and a simple routine. Some people keep a complete fast, while others have fruits or vrat-friendly food during the day. But there is a special belief behind this day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hindu tradition, Lord Vishnu wakes up on Devuthani Ekadashi after four months of Yoga Nidra. This is why the day is also known as Dev Uthani Ekadashi, Devotthan Ekadashi, and Prabodhini Ekadashi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dev Uthani Ekadashi also marks the end of Chaturmas<\/a>, the four-month period during which Lord Vishnu is believed to remain in divine sleep. With his awakening, many auspicious activities that were traditionally avoided during Chaturmas can begin again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why this Ekadashi is closely connected with the beginning of the Hindu wedding season. But there is one important thing to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
