Story Of Bhauma Pradosh Vrat

Bhauma Pradosh vrat has many stories mentioned in religious texts. However, there is an amazing story related to lord Hanuman regarding this vrat. Long time ago, an old woman was observing Bhauma Pradosh vrat with great devotions. Finally, her devotions pleased lord Hanuman, who then appeared as an old brahman in front of the house of the old woman, and asked for alms. Hearing the request of the brahman beggar, the old lady came out of her house and asked how could she be of assistance to the beggar. At this, lord Hanuman, dressed as a beggar, said that he wanted to have some foods, but make sure that my seating place should be dug a little and be cleaned with dung. This request of the brahman beggar astonished the old woman, and she said “I am observing Bhauma vrat today. Therefore, I can’t dig up earth and clean it with dung. Except these, I would serve you with any other requests.” The explanation of the old woman delighted lord Hanuman a lot and he disappeared from there after giving her the desired boon. Since then, Bhauma Pradosh vrat is being observed with all devotions.
