Story :

It is believed that in ancient times, a merchant named Dharampal lived in a place with his wife. He had not any kind of shortage of wealth in his life except for children. He and his wife were desperately waiting for a child and with the blessing of God, they had a baby boy. But their son was cursed with a short life. He was gifted 16 years of life only. Before he achieved the age of sixteen, he got married to a beautiful girl whose mother observed the Mangala Gowri fast and was blessed that her daughter would never face widowhood. And this Grace of Goddess Parvati made that girl's husband ( Dharampal's son) free from his curse. And this way, he achieved a long happy married life. Likewise, any person, especially a married woman, who observes Mangala Gowri fast certainly achieves a long happy married life full of happiness and prosperity.
