dedicated to the Vaibhav Laxmi Vrat.
The vrat is generally observed by married woman.
Unmarried woman and men can also observe the vrat.
Complete fast on the day. The Prasad that is offered to
Goddess Lakshmi can be eaten by the person undertaking fast.
If you have health issues or are working you can take a
single vegetarian meal on the day. Another option is to eat fruits.
Fasting starts before sunrise and ends after sunset and
evening puja.
The vrat should be performed with devotion not with a
particular desire or aim.
The Vrat should be observed for 11 or 21 Fridays. You can

If possible on the vrat day try to do Annadanam or food
donation. This is highly meritorious. Feeding even a single living being on the
day is highly auspicious.
