Varalakshmi Vrat Katha — Sankshipt

Charumati naam ki ek pativrata mahila thi. Ek raat Maa Lakshmi ne usse swapna mein darshan diye aur Varalakshmi Vrat rakhne ko kaha. Charumati ne shraddha se yeh vrat rakha — puja ki, Katha suni, aur saptvaro tak vrat jari rakha. Uske baad uske ghar mein samridhi ka pravah hua — pati ki unnati hui, santaan hua, aur ghar mein sab sukh aaye.

Jab padosiyon ne yeh dekha, woh bhi Charumati se Varalakshmi Vrat seekhne lagi. Is prakar yeh vrat desh mein failta gaya.

• Sabudana vada ya khichdi
• Fruits only (agar nirjala ya phalahar vrat rakh rahe hain)

Yeh vrat usually poore din ka hota hai — shaam ki puja ke baad prasad liya jaata hai.
