Sravana Putrada Ekadashi 2025 falls on Tuesday, August 5, and holds profound spiritual significance in the Hindu tradition. Known as Pavitra Ekadashi or Pavitropana Ekadashi, it is observed during the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of the holy Shravan month. This Ekadashi is especially sacred for couples seeking to be blessed with a male child and is dedicated to the worship of Lord Vishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe.
This year, devotees are preparing with heightened spiritual fervor. With sunrise at 06:03 AM IST and sunset at 07:02 PM IST in Ujjain, the Ekadashi tithi begins at 11:42 AM on August 4 and ends at 01:12 PM on August 5. The Parana (breaking the fast) should be done on August 6, between 06:03 AM and 08:39 AM.
The Sacred Significance of Sravana Putrada Ekadashi 2025
The story behind Sravana Putrada Ekadashi 2025 is rooted in the Bhavishya Purana, where Lord Krishna explains its importance to King Yudhishthira. The day is believed to absolve one of sins and ensure the birth of a virtuous male child, especially for couples yearning to grow their families.
Expert numerologist Rishabh A Grover notes that the alignment of this year’s Sravana Putrada Ekadashi with numerologically potent energies (2+0+2+5 = 9, the number of divine completion) makes it an even more powerful time for spiritual cleansing and wish fulfillment. According to Grover, “This particular Ekadashi carries a rare vibrational energy that supports both material desires and spiritual ascension.”
