Dev Uthani Ekadashi 2027 falls on Wednesday, November 10 — the single most important date on the Hindu wedding calendar if you've been waiting out Chaturmas. It's the day wedding season reopens after a four-month pause, and it's also one of the first muhurat dates couples can actually get married on.
What Dev Uthani Ekadashi actually is
Dev Uthani Ekadashi (also called Prabodhini Ekadashi) is the day Lord Vishnu is believed to wake from Yoga Nidra, the cosmic sleep he entered on Devshayani Ekadashi back in July. Since Vishnu's presence is considered necessary to bless a marriage, the entire Chaturmas period — roughly four months, from mid-July to early November — pauses weddings and other auspicious ceremonies. Dev Uthani Ekadashi is when that pause lifts.
The name translates loosely to "the Ekadashi of the gods' awakening," and it's treated as a genuinely celebratory date, not just a calendar marker — many families specifically seek out this date or the days immediately following it for exactly that symbolism.
Dev Uthani Ekadashi and Tulsi Vivah 2027
| Event | Date | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Dev Uthani Ekadashi | Wednesday, November 10, 2027 | Chaturmas ends, wedding season reopens |
| Tulsi Vivah | Thursday, November 11, 2027 | Ceremonial marriage of Tulsi to Lord Vishnu (Shaligram) |
Tulsi Vivah — the ceremonial wedding of the Tulsi (holy basil) plant to Vishnu — is closely tied to Dev Uthani Ekadashi but performed on the following tithi. Many families perform Tulsi Vivah on Dev Uthani Ekadashi itself, November 10, since the relevant tithi period begins that morning; others wait for November 11. Either way, Tulsi Vivah is often treated as the symbolic "first wedding" of the new season, which is part of why the date carries so much weight for actual human weddings too.
The first muhurat dates after Chaturmas 2027
Dev Uthani Ekadashi itself, November 10, is one of the earliest available shubh vivah muhurat dates once Chaturmas lifts. The full run of confirmed November 2027 dates:
10, 11, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29
November 15 is the standout — it carries Rohini Nakshatra on top of the tithi, a combination considered especially auspicious for weddings. Expect this date, and the days immediately after Dev Uthani Ekadashi generally, to book out fastest of anything in the November-December stretch.
Planning around it
If your family has been waiting through Chaturmas, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is the date to build a plan around — either as the wedding date itself, or as the anchor point from which to count forward to whichever specific muhurat actually suits your family. Either way, the practical planning implication is the same: book early, because so is everyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Dev Uthani Ekadashi in 2027?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi (also called Prabodhini Ekadashi) falls on Wednesday, November 10, 2027, per Drik Panchang. It marks the end of the four-month Chaturmas period and the reopening of the Hindu wedding season.
What is Dev Uthani Ekadashi?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi is the day Lord Vishnu is believed to wake from Yoga Nidra, his four-month cosmic sleep that began on Devshayani Ekadashi in July. Since Vishnu's presence is considered necessary to bless a marriage, weddings and other auspicious ceremonies that paused for Chaturmas resume from this date.
Is Tulsi Vivah the same as Dev Uthani Ekadashi?
They're closely linked but not identical. Dev Uthani Ekadashi is the day itself; Tulsi Vivah — the ceremonial marriage of the Tulsi plant to Lord Vishnu (as Shaligram) — is performed on or immediately after it. In 2027, Tulsi Vivah falls on Thursday, November 11, though many families perform it on Dev Uthani Ekadashi itself, November 10, since the relevant tithi begins that morning.
Can Hindu weddings happen on Dev Uthani Ekadashi itself?
Yes — November 10, 2027 is itself one of the first available muhurat dates once Chaturmas lifts, and it's a popular one precisely because of its symbolism as the day the wedding season reopens. Confirm the exact muhurat timing with your family pandit rather than assuming the whole day is auspicious by default.
What are the first wedding dates after Chaturmas 2027 ends?
After Dev Uthani Ekadashi on November 10, the next confirmed shubh vivah muhurat dates in November 2027 are 11, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 29, per the North Indian Vedic Panchang. November 15 stands out with Rohini Nakshatra. Book venues well ahead of this window — demand spikes hard right after a four-month pause.
