Devshayani Ekadashi 2025: Significance and rituals
Devshayani Ekadashi is also known as Padma Ekadashi, Ashadi Ekadashi and Hari Shayani Ekadashi. On this day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu and seek his blessings. The festival is considered extremely pious, and it is believed that fasting and worshipping Lord Vishnu on this day frees one from all sins. Charity and religious acts are also considered to have special importance on Devshayani Ekadashi. From this day, Lord Vishnu goes into Yog Nidra for about four months and hands over the responsibility and management of the earth to Lord Shiva.
On this day, wake up early to take a bath, install Lord Vishnu's idol in the place of worship, dress him in white or yellow clothes, and light a ghee lamp in front of the Lord. Then offer Tulsi leaves and yellow flowers to Lord Vishnu. After this, read the Ekadashi fast story and offer bhog or prasad after Aarti.
