According to the Hindu calendar, Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025 will be celebrated on November 1, marking the end of Lord Vishnu’s four-month-long divine sleep (Chaturmas). The next day, November 2, devotees will celebrate the Tulsi Vivah, the symbolic marriage of Lord Vishnu (Shaligram) and Goddess Tulsi.
As per Hindu belief, Tulsi is deeply loved by Lord Vishnu, and offering her special items on Dev Uthani Ekadashi brings wealth, peace, and happiness into one’s life. It is said that when Tulsi is pleased, Goddess Lakshmi also showers her devotees with abundance.
Significance of Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025
The day of Dev Uthani Ekadashi holds great spiritual value in Sanatan Dharma. It marks the awakening of Lord Vishnu from his four-month rest period, known as Yoga Nidra. With his awakening, auspicious activities like weddings, housewarmings, and new ventures begin once again in the Hindu calendar.
Performing puja and making offerings to Tulsi on this day is believed to cleanse one’s karma, remove obstacles, and invite the divine presence of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi into the home.
Offer a Red Sacred Thread (Kalawa) to Tulsi
On Dev Uthani Ekadashi, tying a red thread (Kalawa) around the Tulsi plant is considered highly auspicious. According to religious texts, this simple act pleases both Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, bringing peace, prosperity, and fulfillment of desires.
Drape a Red Chunri on Tulsi Mata
During the evening puja, devotees should offer a red Chunri (cloth) to Goddess Tulsi while chanting the mantra:
“Mahaprasad Janani Sarva Saubhagyavardhini, Aadhi Vyadhi Hara Nityam Tulasi Tvam Namo’stute.”
This ritual is believed to please Lord Vishnu and attract divine blessings of fortune and success.
Light a Ghee Lamp and Offer Raw Milk
Lighting a ghee diya (lamp) near Tulsi on Dev Uthani Ekadashi is said to remove negativity and bring light into one’s life. After lighting the lamp, devotees should offer a small amount of raw milk to the Tulsi plant. It symbolizes purity and devotion and ensures peace and harmony in the household.
Tie a Yellow Thread with 108 Knots on Tulsi Vivah
On the day of Tulsi Vivah, devotees should prepare a yellow thread with 108 knots and tie it gently around the Tulsi plant. The thread should be as long as your height. Then, with full faith, express your wishes to Goddess Tulsi. Once the wish is fulfilled, immerse the thread in a river or pond as a gesture of gratitude.
Spiritual and Astrological Importance
Dev Uthani Ekadashi and Tulsi Vivah signify the union of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi’s energies, which symbolize balance, prosperity, and creation. Performing these rituals is believed to remove financial troubles, promote marital harmony, and ensure overall well-being.
Astrologers suggest that worshipping Tulsi on this auspicious day aligns the planets Venus and Jupiter — responsible for wealth, love, and wisdom — bringing long-term success in life.
As the sacred period of Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2025 approaches, devotees across India prepare to celebrate with devotion and joy. Offering Kalawa, Chunri, ghee diya, and milk to Tulsi Mata is not just a ritual — it’s a spiritual connection that brings divine peace and prosperity.
Those who perform the Tulsi Vivah with faith are said to receive blessings equivalent to performing thousands of yajnas. On this divine occasion, let Tulsi and Vishnu’s grace fill your home with wealth, positivity, and eternal bliss.
