Jivitputrika fast is one of the most challenging fasts of the Hindu tradition. It is observed by mothers for the long and healthy lives of their children. On this day, they abstain from eating food or drinking water and observe a Nirjala fast. According to a story, Jimutvanhan, the king of Gandharvas, was in the forest to serve his father and met a mourning woman. She belonged to the family of snakes and according to an oath, Garuda was to feed on her son the next day. Jimutvanhan promised to protect her son and therefore he lied down on the bed of rocks and offered himself to Garuda. When Garuda attacked him, he stayed calm. Garuda was impressed by this act and promised that he would never feed on any children of the woman.
