- The dhanuramasa vratam is been observed since many years.
- It is also called as Pavai Nombu or Margazhi Nombu
- It was narrated by Lord Brahma to Sage Narada
- The references can be found in Brahmanda Purana, Aditya Purana and in Bhagavata Purana.
- It is first performed by Godadevi the daughter of Vishnu Chitta.
- She takes a vow to marry Lord Ranganayaka.
- She wakes up early in the morning during dhanurmasa and worships lord Vishnu.
- She composed 30 pasurams and dedicated them to Lord Vishnu.
- Lord Vishnu invited her to Srirangam, she kneels down at his feet and attained eternity.
- Later Narada advised this Katyayani Vrat to Gopikas to Please Lord Krishna.
- So dhanurmasam is the most pleasing month to Lord Vishnu.
