Significance, Puja Vidhi and Shubh Muhurat

The 11th day of Shukla paksha of the Hindu month Ashadha is observed as Devshayani Ekadashi. It is also known as Maha Ekadashi, Prathama Ekadashi and Padma Ekadashi. The day is quite auspicious for Vaishnava’s, the devotees of Lord Vishnu. According to Hindu scriptures, Lord Vishnu goes to sleep for four months on this day. The day also marks the beginning of Chaturmas, a holy period of four months in the Hindu calendar that concludes on Prabodhini Ekadashi. Devshayani Ekadashi comes just after the famous Jagannath Rathyatra and usually falls in the month of June or July of the English calendar.
