Devshayani Ekadashi is the name given to the Ashadha Shukla Paksha Ekadashi. For those who worship Lord Vishnu in Hinduism, the event is very important. On this day, according to legend, Lord Vishnu enters Yog Nidra, or slumber, and awakens on Prabodhini Ekadashi, four months later. It is forbidden to begin any auspicious work during this period.

According to Yoga Pedia, "Vitthal is the name of a Hindu god considered to be a manifestation of Vishnu or Krishna, his avatar. Vitthal is generally depicted as a dark young boy who stands with his arms outstretched on a brick and is sometimes accompanied by a consort, Rakhumai."
