According to the story, Mother Parvati performed severe penance for Lord Shiva. Actually, Mother Parvati had an unwavering love for Lord Shiva since childhood. Mother Parvati wanted to have Lord Shiva as her husband for many of her births. For this, he started rigorous penance since childhood on the banks of Ganga in the Himalayan Mountains. Mother Parvati had given up food and water in this penance. She used to chew only dry leaves for food. Seeing such condition of Mother Parvati, her parents became very sad. One day Devrishi Narad went to Lord Vishnu’s father with a marriage proposal for Parvati. Mother Parvati’s mother and father were very happy with his proposal. After this he narrated this proposal to Mother Parvati. Mother Parvati was very sad to receive this news, because in her mind she had accepted Lord Shiva as her husband. Mother Parvati told her problem to her friend. Mother Parvati rejected this marriage proposal.
Parvati ji told one of her friends that she would accept only Bholenath as her husband. On the advice of her friend, Parvati ji worshiped Lord Shiva in a cave in the dense forest. On the day of Bhadrapada Tritiya Shukla, in Hasta Nakshatra, Parvati ji made a Shivalinga out of clay and worshiped it duly and kept vigil throughout the night. Pleased with Parvati’s penance, Lord Shiva accepted Mother Parvati as his wife.
It is said that through the rigorous penance with which Mother Parvati attained Lord Shiva, all the women who observe this fast should have a long married life and a happy married life. It is believed that those who observe this fast with full devotion and rituals, get the groom as per their wish.
