India has been a land of customs and traditions that has been an eye catcher for people around the globe. From the old golden era, there has been a reason that is attached to every custom that we follow. When it comes to the wedding season, people especially take care of an auspicious day when they or their loved ones can tie the knot and begin their new journey. While we think of the auspicious days, we recall Dev Uthani Ekadashi first.

Dev Uthi Ekadashi, also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi, marks a sacred day in the Hindu calendar. Hindus celebrate it on the 11th day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik. On this day, devotees believe that Lord Vishnu awakens after resting for four months during Chaturmas, symbolizing the beginning of auspicious activities and spiritual renewal. Eventually, with this, all auspicious ceremonies, and especially the Dev Uthani Ekadashi Weddings in India, begin.

It is a firm belief that all the Dev Uthani Ekadashi weddings get blessed by Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu, and the couple enters a life full of prosperity and harmony. Many of you would have noticed that around this time, venue booking, wedding preparations, and planning are at their peak time, and the shaadi season begins.
