Among the 24 Ekadashis celebrated, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is considered one of the biggest and is celebrated by Hindus across the country. Dev Uthani Ekadashi falls on the Ekadashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha during the Kartik month and is also known as Prabodhini Ekadashi and Dev Uthani Ekadashi.

According to the Drik Panchang, "Parana means breaking the fast. Ekadashi Parana is done after sunrise on the next day of the Ekadashi fast. It is necessary to do Parana within Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi is over before sunrise." On this auspicious day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu.  

As per Hindu scriptures, Lord Vishnu married Tulsi, a plant which is said to be the incarnation of a woman named 'Vrinda'. Thus, the ritual of marriage known as Tulsi Vivah is performed by the devotees which is said to result in a happy marriage.
