Observed with strict phalahari fast, dusk diya-lighting at the tulsi-vriksha, and tulsi-shaligram puja preparation for the next day's Tulsi Vivah.

Mantra

विष्णो विष्णो तू भजे रे प्राणी

Vishno Vishno tu bhaje re prani

O living being, chant Vishnu, chant Vishnu — Jambhoji's mool mantra, recited on Devuthani Ekadashi (Chaturmas Ends).

How to recite

Devuthani Ekadashi (Karthika Shukla Ekadashi, also Prabodhini Ekadashi) marks Vishnu rising from yoga-nidra after the four Chaturmas months — the day to break Chaturmas vows and resume normal worldly activities (weddings, new ventures, travel). For Bishnois who observed a Chaturmas vrat from Devshayani Ekadashi, today is the day of completion. Observe a strict phalahari Ekadashi fast: no grains, no common salt, no onion-garlic. At dawn, bathe and perform sandhya. At dusk, light a row of diyas at the threshold and at the tulsi-vriksha to welcome Vishnu's awakening. Perform tulsi-shaligram puja in preparation for Tulsi Vivah the following day. Recite Vishno mantra and the Vishnu Sahasranama if able.

Benefits

Devuthani Ekadashi closes the four-month Chaturmas season and reopens the Hindu social calendar. For Bishnois, it is the day a sustained spiritual discipline — extra fasting, extra Shabadvani recitation, restrained consumption — comes to a triumphant close. Many Bishnoi families undertake their major life rituals (weddings, mundan, griha-pravesh) only after Devuthani Ekadashi. The day's diya-lighting at the tulsi-vriksha is also the prelude to Tulsi Vivah.

✦ Special Note

Per Drik Panchang. Devuthani Ekadashi 2026: November 19. Devuthani Ekadashi 2027: November 9. Marriages, mundan, and other major life rituals traditionally resume only after this day in observant Bishnoi households.

🪔 Aarti

Om Jai Jagdish Hare

ॐ जय जगदीश हरे, स्वामी जय जगदीश हरे । भक्त जनों के संकट, दास जनों के संकट, क्षण में दूर करे ॥ जो ध्यावे फल पावे, दुःख बिनसे मन का । सुख सम्पत्ति घर आवे, कष्ट मिटे तन का ॥ मात-पिता तुम मेरे, शरण गहूं मैं किसकी । तुम बिन और न दूजा, आस करूं मैं जिसकी ॥ तुम पूरन परमात्मा, तुम अंतर्यामी । पारब्रह्म परमेश्वर, तुम सबके स्वामी ॥ तुम करुणा के सागर, तुम पालनकर्ता । मैं सेवक तुम स्वामी, कृपा करो भर्ता ॥ तुम हो एक अगोचर, सबके प्राणपति । किस विधि मिलूं दयामय, तुमको मैं कुमति ॥ दीनबंधु दुःखहर्ता, ठाकुर तुम मेरे । अपने हाथ उठाओ, अपनी शरण में लाओ ॥ विषय विकार मिटाओ, पाप हरो देवा । श्रद्धा भक्ति बढ़ाओ, संतन की सेवा ॥
