    BHEEMANA AMAVASYE

    5. Is there any story behind Bheemana Amavasye?

    This is a Vratha available in Skanda Purana

    Once there lived a king whose son, the Prince dead prematurely. The King
    was getting his son married in a grand manner. Still he decides to get dead
    son married by announcing rewards for those who come forward to give
    their daughter to this dead son.

    A poor Brahmin comes forward to marry his daughter to the dead prince.
    The wedding was celebrated . That was a Amavasya Day. After the
    marriage celebration was over, the dead prince’s body was brought near
    Bhageerathi River for final rites. As the people were preparing the pyre,
    thunder and lightening strikes along with heavy rains. The people
    panicked and ran back to their homes leaving the dead body and the
    innocent girl there itself.

    The girl remembered that it was the day of Jyothirbheemeshwara vrata,


    which her mother made her perform without fail every year. She took
    bath in the river and molded two lamps and rolled out fiber of a plant to
    form the wick for the lamps. She poured water into the lamps and did
    bhandara with Mud as there was no rice/wheat .

    Shiva & Parvathi were the silent spectators for all her activities and were
    pleased with her devotion and blessed her.

    She finished her pooja with whatever is available at that place.

    As she finished her pooja Rudradevaru and Parvathi Deviyaru appeared


    before her. Lord Shiva broke the mud balls / bandara and asked her to
    ask for a boon. She requested them to bring her husband back to life,
    which was granted. The people next day were happy and surprised to see
    the prince alive and they took the two back in a procession and they lived
    happily ever after. Thus the Vratha became more popular after this
    incident.

    6. Why Bheema’s nae is there in this festival?

    - Bheema is one of the name of Mano Niyamaka Rudradevaru who is the


    main god for this festival.
