About Devshayani Ekadashi

Devshayani Ekadashi marks the start of Chaturmas, the four-month period when Lord Vishnu is believed to go into cosmic sleep.

Weddings and other auspicious ceremonies are traditionally paused until Vishnu 'wakes' on Devutthana Ekadashi.

Significance

The Ekadashi of the bright half of Ashadha, also known as Ashadhi, Padma or Harishayani Ekadashi. It marks the start of Chaturmas, the four-month monsoon period when Lord Vishnu is believed to rest in yoga nidra on the serpent Shesha in the cosmic ocean, until Prabodhini Ekadashi in Kartik. Weddings and similar ceremonies are traditionally not held during this time.

How to Observe

Begin with a simple sattvic meal on Dashami evening and make a resolve for the vrat
Fast on Ekadashi — from grains at the least; some keep a fruit-only or nirjala (waterless) fast
Bathe, and worship Vishnu on a clean altar with yellow cloth, tulsi leaves, yellow flowers and a ghee lamp
Chant the Vishnu Sahasranama and stay up for bhajans and kirtans if you can
Break the fast on Dwadashi morning after sunrise; give charity, and many people also take up a Chaturmas discipline such as avoiding a food or habit

Regional Variations

Notes: Date and timings shown are computed for New Delhi, India using Swiss Ephemeris. Computed via the Udaya Tithi (tithi prevailing at sunrise) convention and the purnimanta month naming both already used by /api/panchang and vrat_engine.py's Janmashtami/Shraddha types. A tithi that never touches a sunrise (Kshaya) falls back to a midday-anchor scan instead of returning no date — see module docstring's Kshaya Tithi finding; one spanning two sunrises (Vriddhi) can still produce two consecutive dates, unresolved beyond the plain rule. RESOLVED Sprint 36c: individually re-checked against 6+ independent fresh sources for 2026 — plain sunrise/Udaya Tithi confirmed correct, Jul 25, 2026 (Saturday). Always cross-check with your family priest for a personalised Muhurat.

Why does this festival's date change every year on the Gregorian calendar?

Most Hindu festivals are set by the lunar Hindu calendar (a specific Tithi within a specific lunar month), not the solar Gregorian calendar used internationally. Since a lunar year runs roughly 11 days shorter than a solar year, the same Tithi lands on a different Gregorian date each year — this is normal and expected, not an error.
