Story of Maa Brahmacharini
According to mythology, Brahmacharini Mata was born as a daughter in the home of mountain king Himalaya. Mother desired Lord Shankar as her husband. On the advice of Narad ji, the mother performed severe penance to fulfill this wish. She was given the name Brahmacharini as a result of her penance.
She lived for 1000 years eating fruits and flowers. In addition, she performed penance by staying on the ground for 100 years. It is said that the gods were pleased after doing penance for several thousand years after being waterless and helpless, and they received the boon of having their wishes granted.
