Forbesganj/Araria, 25 September (HS). Jivitputrika Vrat was completed on Wednesday with the breaking of the fast in Forbesganj and the entire Araria district. The devotees said that they did a 36-hour waterless fast with the wish of long life and prosperity of their son.
On the first day of Jiutiya fast, the women woke up before sunrise, bathed and prayed and ate food once, after which they observed a waterless fast for the entire day. Since this time there was a coincidence of 36 hours, due to which the fasting women remained without water for 36 hours. However, due to different panchang, there was a coincidence of Jiutiya for two days. A large number of people fasted yesterday and today too, after fasting for the entire day, the women broke their fast in the evening today. The women are eating food only after offering arghya to the Sun.
