Rohini Vrat is a regional devotional observance honoring Rohini, the wife of Vasudeva and mother of Balarama in Vaishnava tradition. Legends describe Rohini as a protective maternal figure whose devotion to family welfare is celebrated through fasting and katha recitation, symbolizing harmony and prosperity at home. In January 2026, the vrat is timed to the Rohini nakshatra in the lunar calendar and is celebrated with prayers, a simple fast, and offerings to the family deity.
Fasting from sunrise to moonrise is observed, and the puja includes offering fruits, sweets, flowers, and a lamp, with chanting of the Rohini vrat or related mantras.
Regional Panchang differences mean Rohini Vrat may be observed on different tithis or when Rohini nakshatra occurs, with varying muhurat timings and rites across regions.
