Somvati Amavasya fasting story
Fortune teller and horoscope analyst Dr. Anish Vyas told that although there are many stories related to Somvati Amavasya, but according to a legend, a poor Brahmin lived in a state. Due to lack of money, his daughter was not getting married. One day a Brahmin couple asked a monk the solution, then the monk told that there is a washerman in the nearby village, who also has a son and daughter-in-law. If your daughter serves that washerwoman selflessly, then the washerwoman will be happy and give her the vermilion of her demand, which can destroy the widowhood of the girl.
Hearing this, the poor girl went to his house the next day in Brahma Muhurta and started doing all the work, but the washerman or his daughter-in-law did not know who does this work. One day the washerman asked his daughter-in-law that how could you do so much work so quickly. Yes, the daughter-in-law said, I thought that you do all this work. Hearing this, Dhobin thought of keeping an eye. When he woke up in the morning, he saw that a girl was doing all the work of her house and was going quietly. This happened for many days, one day the washerman held the feet of that girl and asked her the reason for this.
The girl told all the things said by the monk to the washerman. The washerman gave him the vermilion of his demand. At the same time the washerman’s husband died. Saddened, the washerwoman left the house and reached near a Peepal tree, took 108 pieces of bricks and circled 108 pieces 108 times and started throwing them one by one. By doing this her husband became alive. Due to the parikrama of Peepal tree, he got its auspicious fruit, hence fasting on Somvati Amavasya.
