Kajari Teej Fast Story

Learn the divine story behind Kajari Teej Fast, where women worship Goddess Parvati and observe fasting with deep faith to strengthen marital bonds and seek prosperity.

Kajari Teej Fast Story

Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a poor Brahmin and his wife. They were so poor that even arranging two meals a day was a struggle. Despite their poverty, they managed to get by somehow. The Brahmin’s wife was deeply devoted to God. One day, she decided to observe the Kajari Teej fast on the Krishna Paksha Tritiya of the Bhadrapada month. She informed her husband about her decision and said she would need sattu (a flour mixture) to complete the fast rituals. Hearing this, the Brahmin became worried since he didn’t have the money to buy sattu. However, determined to fulfill his wife’s wish, he resolved to arrange it somehow. The Brahmin went to a moneylender’s shop and found the moneylender asleep. He entered the shop, measured one and a quarter kilos of gram flour, ghee, and sugar, and ground it into sattu. Just as he was about to leave, the moneylender woke up and started shouting “Thief! Thief!” The Brahmin explained, “I am not a thief. My wife is observing the Kajari Teej fast today and needs sattu for it. I have taken only what is required for her fast and nothing else.” The moneylender searched him and found nothing except the sattu. This filled the moneylender with regret, and he apologized to the Brahmin. He promised to treat the Brahmin’s wife as his sister from that day on. Additionally, the moneylender gave the Brahmin some money and household items before sending him off. Thus, by the blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the Brahmin’s wife successfully completed her fast. May Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati bestow their blessings upon you as well.
