Devshayani Ekadashi 2024: Devshayani Ekadashi 2024 also known as Ashadhi Ekadashi is one of the most significant religious festivals celebrated annually during the Aashaadh Shukla Paksha which typically takes place in Pandharpur. On this occasion, a large number of devotees gather to participate in the festivities and lead a religious procession.
The festival is primarily dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is believed that on this day, Lord Vishnu enters into a deep sleep (Yoga Nidra) in the cosmic ocean of milk (Kshirsagar) on the serpent Shesha. He remains in this state until Prabodhini Ekadashi, four months later, which marks the end of Chaturmas. As per Drik Panchang, Devshayani Ekadashi is also known as Padma Ekadashi, Ashadi Ekadashi and Hari Shayani Ekadashi.
