Religious Significance
Lord Vishnu enters yoga-nidra (cosmic sleep) for four months. Marks the start of Chaturmas — auspicious ceremonies pause until Hari Bodhini Ekadashi.
भगवान विष्णु चार महिनाको लागि योग निद्रामा प्रवेश गर्नुहुन्छ। यसले चतुर्मासको सुरुवात जनाउँछ — हरिबोधिनी एकादशीसम्म शुभ कार्यहरू रोकिन्छन्।
Story & Legend
On this day, Vishnu is believed to sleep in the Ksheera Sagara (ocean of milk). Devotees transplant Tulsi plants and begin the four-month Chaturmas vow.
यो दिन विष्णु क्षीरसागरमा सुत्नुहुन्छ भन्ने विश्वास छ। भक्तहरूले तुलसी रोप्छन् र चार महिने चतुर्मास व्रत सुरु गर्छन्।
