Today we celebrated Prabodhini Ekādashi, also known as Dev Uthi Ekadashi.
It is the 11th lunar day (Ekādashi) in the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of the Hindu month of Kārtik. It marks the end of the four-month period of Chaturmas, when Lord Vishnu is believed to sleep. Lord Vishnu sleeps on Shayani Ekādashi and wakes on Prabodhini Ekadashi, thus giving this day the name "Prabodhini Ekadashi" ("awakening eleventh") and Dev Uthi Ekadashi ("'God's awakening").
Devotees in the Swaminarayan tradition offer a 'Hātadi' to God in the Mandirs. This is similar to Annakut, except here, fresh, raw vegetables are offered and arranged in cane baskets in front of Bhagwan. The inherent sentiment is that everything is God given and this we offer back to Bhagwan.
