Dev Uthani Ekadashi Rituals & Significance
Dev Uthani Ekadashi marks the commencement of an auspicious phase in which the Hindus hold events like marriage ceremonies. The day of Prabodhini Ekadashi also marks two major events Tulsi Vivah and Dev Deepawali. Hindu faith says that a demon named Sankhyayan stole Vedas, after which various Gods approached the almighty Lord Vishnu to retrieve the holy scripture. After defeating the demon and winning the long battle, Lord Vishnu goes to a state of sleep called Yog Nidra that continues for four months. The period between Shayani Ekadashi and the Dev Uthani Ekadashi is considered inauspicious for events and important traditions. It is also believed that on the day of Prabodhini Ekadashi, Lord Vishnu married Tulsi, a plant which is said to be the embodiment of a woman named 'Vrinda'. This tells us the story of why the Hindu community celebrate the event as Tulsi Vivah on the same day.
