Since It's #KarvaChauth today
So I will write down a thread about a similar kerala religious observation called #ThiruvathiraNoyambu or Thiruvathira fasting.
Observed mainly by unmarried girls for getting a husband like #Mahadev & married women for the longevity of their spouse
The month of Dhanu in the Kerala Hindu calendar falls between mid -December to mid-January. On the day when the new moon and the star named Thiruvathira coincide in the month of Dhanu we celebrate an religious observation called Thiruvathira festival.
Story is something like this "Lord Siva was in deep meditation on Meru for years& Goddess Parvathi performed penance to win Siva as her husband. Finally with the help of Kamadeva, her wish was fulfilled. Siva was pleased with her commitment and married Parvathi.
