📖 Somvar Vrat Katha
A wealthy merchant had no son. Pleased by his Monday fasts, Shiva granted him a son but said the boy would live only twelve years. When the boy died in a far-off city on his wedding journey, Parvati pleaded with Shiva and he returned the boy to life because of his father's devotion.

Fruits, milk, curd, sabudana khichdi, kuttu or singhara atta. Use sendha namak instead of regular salt.
