Jaya Parvati Vrat 2022: History And Significance

There lived a very happy Brahmin couple whose life was near perfect except for a progeny. This troubled the couple so deeply that they used to pray to lord Shiva and Parvati every day, much to the surprise of onlookers. Lord Shiva finally appeared in their dream. He directed them to a dense forest and suggested that they worship the Shivlinga there. As per the directions, the Brahmin couple advanced towards the forest, and spotted the shivlinga. They worshipped the lingam elaborately without missing even a part of the ritual. The husband thought Lord Shiva should be worshipped with flowers and hence went in search of it. Midway, he collapsed unconscious due to a snake bite.

The wife was so worried about her husband's delay in arrival that she prayed to Lord Shiva to bring him back safely. Lord Shiva was truly pleased about the depth of her devotion and revived her husband to consciousness. The couple, blessed by Lord Shiva, returned home, satisfied. In due course of time, they were blessed with a son. This incident inspired many women during her time, to perform this vrat for the longevity of marriage and health of their children.
