Significance of Sri Kedhara Gowri Vratham (or) Kedhareshwara Vratham

Kedhara Gowri vratham familiarly known as Deepavali Nonbu. A very detailed explanation is available in Skanda Puranam. Brungi rishi is a great Shiva bhaktha. When he prays to Lord, he prays only to Lord Shiva and ignores Shakthi. Angered by his act Shakthi devi removed the energy from his body. He was unable to stand. He prayed to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva gave him a stick to support his body. Shakthi wanted to become part of Lord‟s body. She observed the Kedhara Vratha, one of the Gods favorite Vratha. Pleased by her austerities God gave the left part of his body to shakthi and became Ardhanaarishwara. The vratha is then called “kedhara Gowri Vratha” since Gowri observed it.

The glory of this vratham is very splendid as shri Gowri devi observed this vratham in full devotion and got to be in half of the body of Lord Shiva. Vishnu became lord of Vaikunta observing this vratham. Brahma got Hamsa vehicle. The guards of eight directions got rid of the bane which they got from Brahma. Bhagyavati and Punyavati got lots of wealth all due to the glory of this vratham. One who observes this vratham with devotion pleases Lord Shiva.
