July Ekadashi 2025 Dates: Ekadashi fasting is considered an effective way to obtain the grace of Lord Vishnu. Let's find out the Ekadashi dates in July 2025 and when these fasts will be observed.
According to the Hindu calendar, two Ekadashis occur every month, which are considered very important from a religious point of view. Each of these Ekadashis has a different significance and method of worship. The month of July 2025 is a confluence of the months of Ashadha and Sawan, in which two very special Ekadashi dates are falling. The first is Devshayani Ekadashi and the second is Kamika Ekadashi. Both of these fasts are considered special for devotees.
While the Chaturmas begins with Devshayani Ekadashi, both Shiva and Vishnu's grace are attained on Kamika Ekadashi. Let's know the dates, worship Muhurat, and correct information about the fast parana of both these Ekadashis in July 2025.
July 6, 2025 Devshayani Ekadashi
This Ekadashi is the Ekadashi of the Shukla Paksha of the Ashadha month. It is also called Harishayani or Devshayani Ekadashi. It is believed that on this day, Lord Vishnu goes into yogic sleep in the Ksheer Sagar (Ocean of Milk) and remains there for four months. This is the reason why Chaturmas is considered to begin from this day, and auspicious events like marriages are also stopped.
Observing the Devshayani Ekadashi fast leads to the attainment of Moksha and freedom from sins. On this day, devotees fast, worship Lord Vishnu, and perform vigil, singing bhajans and kirtans throughout the night.

July 21, 2025 Kamika Ekadashi
Kamika Ekadashi is observed on the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi of the Sawan month. This fast is also considered special for Vishnu worship. The special thing is that in 2025, Kamika Ekadashi falls on a Monday, which has increased its importance. The combination of Sawan Monday is very auspicious for Shiva devotion, and when it coincides with Ekadashi, it becomes a rare coincidence for devotees.
