As per the Vedic calendar, the Ekadashi tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Sawan will commence at 11:41 AM on 4th August and conclude at 1:12 PM on 5th August. In Sanatan tradition, the observance of Ekadashi is determined based on the sunrise (Udaya Tithi), and therefore, Putrada Ekadashi will be observed on 5th August 2025. Devotees may take a holy bath and perform rituals dedicated to Lakshmi-Narayan Ji at a suitable time during this period.
Putrada Ekadashi Parana Timing
The fast for Putrada Ekadashi will be broken on 6th August, with the Parana window lasting from 5:45 AM to 8:26 AM. During this time, devotees are advised to bathe and offer prayers to Lakshmi-Narayan Ji. After the devotional rituals, they may conclude the fast by donating food and performing acts of charity.
Putrada Ekadashi Shubh Yoga This year, Putrada Ekadashi will align with the auspicious Indra Yoga, along with the formation of Bhadraavas Yoga. On this day, Bhadra will remain in Swarga Lok until 11:43 AM before transitioning to Patal Lok. Worshipping Lakshmi-Narayan Ji while Bhadra resides in either Swarga or Patal is believed to bring blessings and fulfill devotees' heartfelt wishes.

Here's why Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) 2025 is century's rarest and luckiest
Raksha Bandhan 2025: Every year, the festival of Raksha Bandhan, also called Rakhi, is celebrated with great love and joy across India. This special day falls on the full moon (Purnima) of the Shravan month and symbolises the strong bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, many devotees take a holy dip in sacred rivers like the Ganga and worship Lord Lakshmi Narayan. After the rituals, sisters tie a rakhi (a sacred thread) on their brothers' wrists, and in return, brothers give gifts and promise to stand by their sisters through good and bad times. The entire country celebrates this occasion with great enthusiasm. A Rare Alignment After Decades According to astrologers, Raksha Bandhan 2025 will witness a rare and powerful astrological combination — something that hasn't happened since 1930, according to Jagran. In simple terms, the day, nakshatra (constellation), full moon, and the ideal time to tie the rakhi will all align in almost the same way as they did 95 years ago. Performing rituals and tying rakhi during this unique combination is believed to bring double the blessings.

Since Raksha Bandhan should not be celebrated during Bhadra, the festival will be observed on 9 August this year.

Raksha Bandhan 2025: Date, significance and history
Raksha Bandhan 2025: The Raksha Bandhan festival, also known as Rakhi, is celebrated across India. This year it will be celebrated on 9 August 2025. The joyful festival celebrates the bond between sisters and brothers. On this occasion, a sister ties a string bracelet or amulet, usually made from red or yellow thread, called a Rakhi, on the right wrist of her brother, and the siblings exchange sweets and wishes. The Rakhi symbolises the bond (bandhana) of mutual protection (raksha) between brothers and sisters, with a particular emphasis on the brother's role in protecting the sister. According to the Hindu calendar, the festival takes place on the full-moon day (purnima) of the month of Shravana, which usually occurs in August in the Gregorian calendar. The practice of tying protective threads has a long history. The ancient Atharvaveda mentions tying the pratisara, a protective thread used in rituals. The ritual of tying a protective kautuka bracelet is described in the Agniveshya Grihyasutra. According to Britannica, the Atharvaveda Parishishta of the first centuries mentions that a king's Atharvan priest should tie a raksha bandhana amulet on the king on the full moon day of Shravana. The Bhavishya Purana also mentions tying protective threads. In Chapter 137 of the last part of the text (the Bhavishyottara Purana), the god Krishna advises Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata, to wear a rakhi. Krishna tells him of how, when the god Indra was battling with the asuras (demons), Indra's wife, Indrani (also known as Shachi), tied a protective bracelet, a 'rakshabandha,' on his wrist to make him invulnerable. The Bhagavat Puran and Vishnu Puran also mention the ritual. After Vishnu conquers the three worlds from King Bali, he asks Vishnu to live in his palace. Vishnu's wife, the goddess Lakshmi, is not happy about this arrangement. She ties a rakhi on King Bali, making him a brother. Honoured by the gesture, Bali grants her a wish. Lakshmi requests that Vishnu return home.
