With Chaitra Purnima marking the end of the Chaitra month, the spiritually significant month of Vaishakh begins—ushering in a period of divine grace and religious observances in Hindu tradition. One of the most sacred fasts observed in this month is Varuthini Ekadashi, dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his Krishna avatar and Goddess Lakshmi.
This powerful Ekadashi is believed to remove obstacles in marriage, bring prosperity, and wash away sins. Let’s explore the date, timings, importance, and religious significance of Varuthini Ekadashi in 2025.
📅 When is Varuthini Ekadashi 2025?
According to the Rishikesh Panchang, Ekadashi Tithi will begin on April 23 at 4:43 PM and conclude on April 24 at 4:13 PM. However, since Udaya Tithi is considered for fasting, devotees will observe the Varuthini Ekadashi Vrat on April 24, 2025 (Thursday).
This Ekadashi falls during the Shukla Paksha of Vaishakh month, a time traditionally associated with rituals to attract divine protection and grace.
