🚩🌿 The day signifies the end of the monsoon month and the beginning of the Hindu wedding season.
🚩🌿A pious girl named Vrinda born in the Asura clan to Kalanemi who was a great devotee of Bhagwan Vishnu. Her husband Jalandhar, the King of asuras, became invincible by defeating the Devas, due to the penance of his pious wife Vrinda.

🚩🌿Bhagwan Vishnu then took His real form which angered Vrinda as she did not expect Bhagwan Vishnu to cheat her this way and break her chastity.
🚩🌿Vrinda angrily cursed Bhagwan Vishnu to turn into a stone. But when the Devas requested Vrinda to not turn Bhagwan Vishnu into a stone, she reduced her curse.
