According to history, there was a king named Jimutavahana who was unhappy with his family and, therefore, he left his kingdom to his brothers and went to the forest to serve his father. He came across a Nagvanshi mother who was weeping for her son who was to be sacrificed to Pakshiraj Guraj on that day. Jinutavahan promised her that he would protect her son and, therefore, he covered himself in red cloth and offered himself to Pakshiraj Garud. The King was fearless to which Garud was surprised and asked for his real identity. Seeing his fearlessness, Garud promised that he will not take any sacrifices from Nagvanshis. Since then, this day is known as JivitPutrika Vrat and it symbolises a mother’s love for her children. Happy JivitPutrika Vrat 2021 everyone!
