What is Dev Uthani Ekadashi?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi commemorates Lord Vishnu’s awakening from Yoga Nidra. Chaturmas, starting from Devshayani Ekadashi in Ashadha, ends today, re-opening weddings and auspicious rites. Tulsi Vivah, when Lord Shaligram (Vishnu’s form) is married to Tulsi, is traditionally celebrated. The Padma Purana describes the divinity and importance of observing this day. Marriage, mundan, and griha pravesh ceremonies restart one moment, and it’s busy everywhere.
What to Eat During Ekadashi Fasting?
Allowed: fruits (banana, apple), milk, sabudana, sendha namak, kuttu, and singhare ka atta. Prohibited: grains (including rice, wheat), lentils, onion, garlic. Fasting styles vary: nirjala (no water), phalahari (fruits only), or partial. Foods avoided are considered tamasic, keeping the mind clear is the idea.
