In ancient times there used to be a moneylender, that moneylender had seven sons and a daughter. The girl’s name was Veeravati who has seven brothers. They loved their only sister very dearly, they all had a lot of affection for their sister.
After Veeravati’s marriage, she comes to her in-laws’ house at the time of the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. The sister observes fast with her sister in law but she gets angry due to hunger.
The brothers do not see the status of their sister, and they light a lamp on a peepal tree at a distant place for the sister and keep it in the carpet Because of which it looks like it is like a moon.
All seven brothers call their sister and see that your moon has come out, now you can quickly complete your fast by worshiping it. Sister tells the sisters that the moon has come out, but the sisters say that it is your moon, you have not yet come to worship our moon, She does not understand anything and worships the fake moon made by the brothers and starts eating. When she eats the first grass to eat, she sneezes, hair comes out in the second grass and as soon as the third grass starts eating, she gets the message of her husband’s death.
On hearing the news of the husband’s death, she cries a lot, then the brothers tell her that it happened because of not worshipping the Moon. Her husband’s age declined due to the break of the fast. Veeravati does not perform the last rites of her husband, she takes care of her husband by sitting near his body for a whole year. Keeps every Chaturthi fast for twelve months and when the Chaturthi of Kartik month comes, then on that day, she worships the moon with full rituals and fulfills the rule of fast, due to the effect of her tenacity, her husband becomes alive again and She gets the blessings of being lucky.
