Ekadashi, which falls on the 11th day of Kartik Krishna Amavasya Tithi, is known as Devuthani Ekadashi or Devotthan Ekadashi. According to religious beliefs, as soon as the rainy season begins, the Lord falls asleep on the day of Devshayani Ekadashi, and after four months, on the day of Devuthani Ekadashi, wakes up again from Yoganindra and conducts the work of creation.

According to the Ekadashi Mahatyam mentioned in the Padma Purana, the result of the Devotthan Ekadashi fast is equal to one thousand Ashvamedha Yagya and one hundred Rajasuya Yagya.
