Prabodhini Ekadashi, also known as Devutthana Ekadashi, is a significant Hindu festival that marks the end of Chaturmas, the four holy months according to the Hindu calendar. On this day, devotees wake up early in the morning to perform rituals and prayers to Lord Vishnu to seek his blessings and forgiveness for any sins committed.

The name "Prabodhini Ekadashi" literally translates to "awakening eleventh", signifying the awakening of Lord Vishnu from his cosmic sleep. It is believed that observing a fast on this auspicious day and performing rituals with devotion helps in attaining spiritual enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion in various parts of India.

Prabodhini Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu month Kartika, usually in the month of October or November. Devotees take a holy dip in rivers, visit temples, and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu on this day. The festival is also associated with the famous pilgrimage of Pandharpur in Maharashtra, where millions of devotees gather to seek the blessings of Lord Vitthal on this auspicious day.
