Marking the conclusion of the four-month celestial slumber of Lord Vishnu, the sacred festival of Devuthani Ekadashi—also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi or Dev Uthani Gyaras—will be celebrated across the country on Friday, November 20, 2026. Falling on the Ekadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the holy month of Kartik, this propitious occasion marks the formal end of Chaturmas, unlocking the long-awaited window for auspicious ceremonies, housewarming events, and Hindu marriages. Astrological charts reveal that this year’s celebrations are enhanced by the powerful presence of an all-day "Ravi Yoga," an exceptionally auspicious planetary alignment believed to destroy past negative karmas, protect devotees from malefic planetary influences, and multiply the spiritual virtues of worship offered to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.

Vedic Tithi Timings, Day-Long Ravi Yoga, and Key Auspicious Muhurats for November 20

According to Hindu lunar calculations, the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi Tithi begins at 07:15 AM on Friday, November 20, 2026, and concludes at 06:31 AM on Saturday, November 21, 2026. Since the Udaya Tithi and prevailing lunar parameters align on Friday, the official Devuthani Ekadashi Vrata will be observed on November 20. The divine day is blessed with Ravi Yoga lasting throughout the entire day, creating an ideal setting for ritualistic prayers. Other essential Muhurats for religious observances on November 20 include Brahma Muhurta from 05:01 AM to 05:44 AM, Vijay Muhurta from 01:53 PM to 02:35 PM, Twilight (Godhuli) Muhurta from 05:26 PM to 05:52 PM, and Nishita Kaal from 11:40 PM to 12:34 AM (midnight), offering dedicated intervals for nocturnal Vishnu Sahasranama recitations and traditional sugarcane-canopy altars.

Devuthani Ekadashi 2026 Parana Time: How and When to Break the Sacred Fast

In strict adherence to Vedic rules, the merits of the Ekadashi fast are only fully realized when the Parana (fast-breaking) is executed during the designated Dwadashi Muhurat without scriptural errors. For the fast observed on Friday, the auspicious Parana window opens on Saturday, November 21, between 01:10 PM and 03:18 PM. Devotees must conclude their waterless or fruit-based austerity by offering water to Lord Surya, worshipping the sacred Tulsi plant, offering food and charity to deserving Brahmins, and breaking the fast within this specific afternoon frame to ensure lasting peace, spiritual liberation, and family well-being.

Chaturmas Concludes: Auspicious Hindu Wedding Dates to Kick Off from November 21

Chaturmas initially commenced earlier in the year on Devshayani Ekadashi during the month of Ashadha, a spiritual period during which Lord Vishnu retreats into Yoga Nidra atop the Sheshanaga in the Kshirsagar, pausing all major manglik rituals. With Lord Hari formally awakening on Devuthani Ekadashi, wedding bells and holy sacraments resume nationwide with full vigor. Astrological panchang assessments outline four immediate auspicious wedding dates (Shubh Vivah Muhurat) in November 2026—specifically on November 21, November 24, November 25, and November 26—promising matrimonial harmony and prosperity for couples tying the knot under these favorable planetary configurations.
