Akshaya Navami vrat katha
The Akshaya Navami vrat katha (legend) primarily focuses on the story of a wealthy merchant’s daughter named Kishori and how observing the Akshaya Navami fast and rituals averted a dire prediction of widowhood.
Kishori, was predicted to become a widow soon after marriage. But she didn’t lose hope. She dedicated herself to serving saints and followed a special fast and ritual prescribed by a sage.
Kishori’s devotion was strong, and she chanted Lord Vishnu’s mantra for three years, watered the tulsi plant daily and performed Lord Vishnu’s marriage ceremony with Goddess Tulsi on Akshaya Navami. Her sincere devotion paid off. The curse was lifted, and she married Prince Mukund, becoming a queen. The story teaches us that observing Akshaya Navami Vrat with devotion can bring eternal blessings and override even the toughest destiny.
