Varamahālakshmīvrata - Yogic & Vedic Heritage FESTIVALS OF BHARATA

Varamahalakshmivrata is considered as one of the most famous vratas observed in the month of srava?a. In case the month of srava?a occurs twice in the form of nija and adhika (regular and intercalary), this Vrata is observed only in the nija srava?a. Even though it is not enjoined among the regular vratas like Ekadasi, Sivaratri etc which should be observed by all, this vrata is observed to please Goddess Jaganmata with great devotion and religious fervour by a large number of devotees in our country.
There is a vidhi which stipulates that this vrata should be observed on a Friday which is nearest to the Pur?ima of the month of srava?a.
