Somvar Vrat Katha Book in Bold Letters – Paperback Edition

The Somvar Vrat is observed by many Hindu women, especially for sixteen consecutive Mondays, to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. Mata Parvati is believed to have kept this fast to marry Shiva, inspiring many girls to do the same for an ideal partner. In one story, Shiva and Parvati played a dice game at a temple. Parvati won, but the priest had wrongly predicted Shiva’s victory and was cursed by her to become a leper. Later, divine beings advised him to fast for sixteen Mondays. He did so and was cured, showing the powerful results of this vrat.
