The festival is followed according to Hindu mythological legends. According to a story attached to it, a woman in a particular village had seven sons. In the month of Kartik, she decided to clean her house and decorate it for the festivities. For something, she required some soil. While digging the ground, she accidentally killed a lion cub with a spade.
She was extremely guilty of what had happened but within a year all her sons disappeared. Seeing the woman in grief, an elderly woman advised her to offer prayers to Goddess Ahoi Bhagwati, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati. The woman repented for her sins and soon all her sons returned. Hence Hindu women observe the day praying for the goodness of their children.
