Kartiki (Prabodhini) Ekadashi also known as Devotthan #ekadashi, is the 11th lunar day (ekadashi) in the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of the Hindu month of Kartik. It marks the end of the four-month period of Chaturmas, when god Vishnu is believed to sleep. It is believed that Vishnu sleeps on Shayani Ekadashi and wakes on Prabodhini Ekadashi, thus giving this day the name “Prabodhini Ekadashi” (“awakening eleventh”), Vishnu-prabodhini (“awakening of #Vishnu) and Dev-Prabodhini Ekadashi, Deothan, Dev uthav ekadashior Dev Oothi ekadashi (“God’s awakening”).
