Shravana Putrada 2025 Vrat Katha: Date, Timings, Mantra, Significance: Ekadashi is regarded as one of the most significant days in Hinduism, during which devotees worship Lord Vishnu and Maa Lakshmi in the hope of receiving heavenly benefits, with many choosing to fast on this day.
Putrada Ekadashi is celebrated twice a year: once during Paush Shukla Paksha and another one during Shravan Shukla Paksha, which falls in the Hindu month of Sawan, which is July – August, according to the Gregorian calendar.
Shravan Shukla Paksha Ekadashi is also referred to as Pavitropana Ekadashi or Pavitra Ekadashi, particularly within the Vaishnava community.
This year, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi will be observed on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, with the Ekadashi tithi beginning at 11:41 AM on August 4 and ending at 1:12 PM on August 5.
Parana (breaking the fast) is on August 6, between 5:45 AM and 8:26 AM, with the Dwadashi tithi ending at 2:08 PM on the same day, according to Drik Panchang.
Putra means “son”, whereas Ada means “giver of son”, which is why it is called Putrada Ekadashi.
Putrada Ekadashi Vrat is held primarily by married couples who wish to have a son but are unable to conceive, as, according to the name Putrada Ekadashi, a married couple observes this fast with great devotion and purity.
According to Hindu scripture, Lord Vishnu bestows joy and fulfils all of the desires of those who observe this fast.
On this auspicious day, devotees should get up early and bathe before sunrise, followed by cleaning their home with Gangajal.
This day is ideal for seeking blessings from Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi at temples or at home and offering flowers, panchamrit, and bhog (kheer, fruits, and dried fruits) while reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, Vishnu Stotra, and Geeta, followed by Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi Aarti.
