🌻Ful Kajli Vrat🌻
On the third day of Shravan Sud, this fast is done especially by virgin girls. During the fast, flowers are smelled and eaten. Young women do this fast to get a good ‘husband’.
On the first day of the holy month of Shravan, a virgin gets up before sunrise, takes a bath, adorns herself with Parvari decorations, and goes to the temple of Lord Bholenath to worship Shiva Parvati with full faith. Then worship Lord Ganesha. Then smell the fruit and eat the fruit.
If one fasts on this day, he gets the best results. Also, after smelling the flower, which is dear to the Lord, drink water or eat fruit. Any flower with excellent fragrance can be taken. Sanj worship Jagatmata cow immediately after sunset. Vigil at night. To praise Ishtadev. The Deva Puranas say that with full faith and devotion, the whole life and world of the one who performs this vow will smell the fragrance of happiness. By the grace of Bholanath’s vow, all the desires of the vower are fulfilled.
After five years the Vrat Parana is performed. In the celebration of the Vrat, five virgin girls have to be betrothed. This Vrat is completed by keeping a silver flower in the establishment and giving Jamadi Yathashakti Dan Dakshina to the Goranis. In any Vrat, if worship is done with true spirit, the Vrat will bear fruit.
