Vinayak Chaturthi Vrat Katha

Once upon a time, on the banks of river Narmada, Mata Parvati and Lord Shiva were enjoying the game of Chaupad.

For the role of the judge in the game, Lord Shiva made an effigy of clay and brought life to life in it.

Lord Shiva ordered the boy that he would decide the winner.

Mata Parvati and Shiva got busy in sports.

There was a game of Chaupad thrice between Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva.

In which Mother Parvati won, but the child declared Lord Shiva as the winner.

Mother Parvati became very angry on the decision of the child and she cursed the child.

After which the child apologized to Mother Parvati and said that it was due to the earth.

On which Mata Parvati said that the curse given will not be returned.

However, Mother Parvati told the child how to get rid of the curse.

When the child asked Mata Parvati the way to get rid of the curse, he said that the snake girls would come to worship Lord Ganesha.

Then fasting will have to be done as per his instructions.

After which you will get freedom from the curse.
