Chaturmas Kab Hai: Chaturmas begins with Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Ashadh month, which is called Devshayani Ekadashi. This day symbolizes Lord Vishnu going for yoga sleep in Kshir Sagar and from this day the period of Chaturmas starts for four months. This time is considered special for worship, chanting, and meditation.

Many auspicious works are prohibited during Chaturmas and people pay more attention to restraint and religion during this period. These four months are a time of spiritual advancement and self-purification when fasting and religious rituals give special virtue. Let us know when Chaturmas is starting and what should be done and what should not be done during this time.

What to do during Chaturmas

Get up early in the morning, take a bath, and bow to the Sun God.

Who circulates the earth during Chaturmas?

During Chaturmas, when Lord Vishnu is in Yognidra, then the circulation of the earth is handed over to Rudra Dev, the incarnation of Lord Shiva. During these four months, in the absence of Lord Vishnu, Rudra Dev takes care of the management and supervision of the earth. For this time, Vishnu Ji hands over his responsibilities to Rudra Dev.
This year Chaturmas will begin on 6th July and end on 1st November on the day of Devuthani Ekadashi, when Lord Vishnu awakens again and takes the control of the earth in his hands. The next day, on 2nd November, all the auspicious works will begin with Tulsi Vivah.
