Vratas

Observing Vrat is a healthy way to please the gods. A vrat measures the dedication and depth of a devotee's devotion. It is much more than just fasting. A Vrat is intertwined with numerous rituals and customs in Hindu culture. It involves a vow to abstain from food and sometimes even water for the entire duration of the custom or festival being observed. Beyond that, a vrat also involves the worship of a deity through prayers and deeds. It demonstrates a person's determination and willpower.
