Sankashti Chaturthi fast story
There are a lot of mythological stories behind celebrating Sankashti Chaturthi, but among them which is most prevalent, we are going to tell you that story.
Once Mata Parvati and Lord Shiva were sitting near the river, then suddenly Mata Parvati expressed her desire to play Chaupad. But the problem was that there was no third person other than those who would play the role of decider in the game.
Solving this problem, Shiva and Parvati together made an earthen idol and put life into it. Both of them ordered the child made of clay to watch the game well and decide who won and who lost. The game started in which Mata Parvati was victorious by repeatedly beating Lord Shiva.
The game continued but once the boy accidentally declared Mata Parvati a loser. This mistake of the boy made Mata Parvati very angry due to which she got angry and cursed the child and he became lame. The child apologized very much to his mother for his mistake and asked her to forgive him.
Seeing the repeated request of the child, the mother said that now the curse cannot be returned but she can tell a solution by which she will be able to get rid of the curse. Mother said that some girls come to this place to worship on Sankashti, you ask them the method of fasting and do that fast with true heart.
Knowing the method of fasting, the child performed it devoutly and according to the law. Lord Ganesha was pleased with his true worship and asked his wish. The child expressed his desire to go to Mata Parvati and Lord Shiva.
Ganesha fulfills the demand of the child and gives him Shivlok, but when he arrives, he only gets Lord Shiva there. Mother Parvati is angry with Lord Shiva and leaves Kailash. When Shiva asked the child how you came here, he told him that he had received this boon by worshiping Ganesha. After knowing this, Lord Shiva also performed that fast to celebrate Parvati, after which Mata Parvati returns to Kailash after being pleased with Lord Shiva.
