What Is The Story Behind Bahula Chaturthi?

There is a specific story behind the celebration of Bahula Chaturthi and keeping a Bahula Chaturthi Vrat. Bahula Chaturthi Vrat Katha holds much significance in the state of Gujarat.

There was a cow named Bahula which was coming back home in order to feed her calf. On her way to home, she faced a lion. Bahula got scared to death but with enough courage she said to the lion that she needs to feed her calf. Bahula asked the lion to let her go, once she will feed the calf, she will return and then he can have her. The lion set her free and waited for her to come back.

Bahula did return after feeding her calf which surprised the Lion. He was quite shocked and impressed with the cow’s commitment towards her child, so he freed her and let her go back.

This depicts that even physical strength, anger and passion of the lion had to stoop in front of the care and love of the cow for her calf. From that particular day, the devotees celebrate Bahula Chaturthi by sacrificing cow’s milk and save it for the calves only. It is a token of worship which they perform for seeking the blessings of the deity.
