"The story behind Varalakshmi vrata:"
Once upon a time Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi were dancing.There was a dispute regarding the
winner.Parvathi claimed that she won the dance whereas Lord Shiva claimed he won the dance.So
they decided to consult Chitramani who can give testimony regarding the winner.
Chitramani confirmed that Lord Shiva won the dance.Goddess Parvathi got angry with the verdict and
she accused Chitramani of lying.Lord Shiva said, Chitramani did not lie but only uttered the truth.Not satisfied with his answer she cursed Chitramani to suffer from leprosy and be born on earth as a leper.
In order to get rid of leprosy, he was advised to participate on earth in the puja of "Varalakshmi
vratha".Chitramani went place to place to find out who was doing this "Varalakshmi Puja".Finally
he met a group of celestial apsaras who were doing this puja.With great devotion he participated in
the puja and was cured of leprosy and became a normal person again.
Since then this "Varalakshmi puja" is celebrated in India as a great festival by the married
women.People become rich and prosperous by following this puja
