The legend of Bipattarini Vrata

According to the legend, during the reign of King Sataiyan (or Satyacharan), a devout Brahmin woman was a sincere worshipper of Goddess Durga. One day, she received a sacred red thread (raksha sutra) consecrated by the goddess herself, meant to protect devotees from all dangers. She tied this thread on her wrist, and soon the fame of its miraculous power spread far and wide.

The queen of King Sataiyan, curious about the power of the red thread, invited the Brahmin woman to the palace to show it to her. But there was a problem: the royal family followed a different sect and forbade bringing symbols of Goddess Durga into the palace. Fearing punishment but unwilling to refuse the queen, the Brahmin woman wrapped the sacred thread in her old cloth and carried it secretly.

When she reached the palace, as fate would have it, the king suddenly appeared in the queen’s chamber. Frightened of being accused of smuggling the forbidden object, she prayed fervently to the goddess to save her from this crisis. Miraculously, the thread disappeared from her cloth before the king’s eyes, saving her from accusation. After the king left, the thread reappeared.

This divine intervention proved the boundless grace of the goddess and earned her the name Bipattarini—“She who saves from danger.” Since then, women have observed the Bipattarini Vrata with deep devotion, fasting, and tying the red protection thread on their wrists while praying for the welfare of their families.

The vrata is usually performed on the Ashtami tithi (eighth day) of the bright fortnight in the Bengali month of Ashadha (June-July). Devotees offer fruits, sweets, and sacred threads to the goddess and tie the thread as a token of her protection. In many places, a banana stem is dressed and worshipped as the goddess.

This vrata continues to be a living tradition of faith, reminding devotees of the compassionate power of the divine mother who protects her children in their hour of need.
