A celebration of fearless devotion

Rohini Vrat is an important fast primarily observed by Jain women, which starts on the day of Rohini Nakshatra and continues until the Nakshatra ends. The vrat is observed on specific days when Rohini Nakshatra falls, generally once every 27 days. Women partake in this vrat with devotion, and the fast is broken after offering prayers and completing rituals dedicated to Lord Vasupujya. The fasting is believed to bring peace and harmony to families and safeguard against difficulties.
