Parivarik Vrat kathaye

In Hindu tradition, many Parivarik Vrats (family fasts) are observed to ensure peace, unity, protection, and prosperity within the household. These fasts are usually kept by women — mothers, daughters, and wives — who pray not only for their own well-being, but for the health, longevity, and success of the entire family. From ancient times, these vrat kathas have been passed down through generations, filled with devotional stories, where truth, faith, and patience win over trials. Some of the most revered Parivarik Vrats include: Santoshi Mata Vrat, for contentment and household peace Ahoi Ashtami, for the well-being of children Karwa Chauth, for a husband’s long life Vat Savitri, symbolizing a wife’s devotion Shanivar Vrat, to remove poverty and obstacles Budh Vrat or Guruvar Vrat, to increase wisdom, harmony, and wealth Each vrat is accompanied by a Katha (story) — such as a devoted queen whose fasting saved her family, or a poor woman whose faith restored her broken household. These stories highlight that even in hardship, devotion and truth bring divine blessings.
