Significance of Rohini Vrat:
Rohini Vrat is an important fast for jain community. It is
observed every month when rohini nakshatra comes.

Vrat is mainly observed by women for the long life of their husbands. Rohini is
one of the Nakshatra out of twenty-seven Nakshatra.
It is believed that those who observe Rohini fasting can get
rid of all types of sorrows and poverty. The Parana of Rohini Nakshatra is done
during Margashirsha Nakshatra when Rohini Nakshatra ends.
There are twelve Rohini fasting days in a year. Usually

advisable duration of Rohini fasting is five years and five months. Rohini
fasting should be finished with Udyapana.

History of Rohini Vrat :
Lord Mahavir
lived the life of an ascetic. He advocated non-violence. Being heralded as the
founder of Jainism, Lord Mahavir was preceded by twenty-three holy men called
as Tirthankaras or pathfinders who all lived the lives of ascetics and were
engaged in severe spiritual meditation. Lord Mahavir strongly advocated that
only when an individual crosses his attachment to the physical body, can he
attain self-realization, which is the final culmination of human birth. Jainism
advocates an ascetic life of complete renunciation for those who give up
worldly pleasures and commit themselves to spiritual life. For those in the
regular household life, strict observances are not a mandate. They can follow
the commandments of Jainism and live a normal life however without giving
themselves away to over indulgence. Amidst this background, Rohini Vrat is prescribed
for the women in the Jain community as a spiritual practice.
Celebrations/ Rituals:
On the day
of Rohini vrat, the women wake up early in the morning and take a holy bath.
They set up an idol or photograph of one of the Jain God Vasupujya. An elaborate
puja is performed with a holy bath to the idol and offerings are made. At the
end of the puja, the women start the fasting process that lasts till the rise
of Margashirsha Nakshatra. Usually, Rohini Vrat is observed for three, five or
seven years. Rohini fasting should be concluded with Udyapana.
