Rituals
On the first day of Jaya Parvati Vrat, sow wheat seeds in tiny pots. ‘Jwara’ is the name given to these little pots. Fast for five days and five nights while worshipping these pots. When you finish your fast, you perform this rite every day. After offering water to wheat seeds in Jwara, say a prayer.
The Lord Shiva temple attracts a large number of women who come to worship him. Diya, flowers, incense sticks, kumkum, water, and sweets are offered to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The pot of Jwara is immersed in a holy river or lake on the next day of Jagran by women or unmarried girls. After visiting the temple, several of them break their fast. They worship to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati before eating a big meal to break the fast.

Significance of Jaya Parvati Vrat
According to Indian mythology, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati had a brahmin pair who were tremendous worshippers. Every day, they would worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. They had everything they wanted in life except a child, so they went to Lord Shiva for help.
Lord Shiva was gratified by their devotion and appeared in their dream. To fulfil their goal, Lord Shiva advised the couple to resurrect the Shivling buried deep in the wilderness and worship the Linga.
Following Lord Shiva’s directions, a couple set out to find the long-forgotten Shivaling in the wilderness. The next day, they ventured deep into the jungle and discovered a run-down location where the couple discovered the Shivaling. While his wife cleaned the place, a husband gathered flowers to gift to Shivaling. After that, she offered puja to the Shivaling.
Meanwhile, her husband was bitten by a deadly snake while picking flowers and was rendered comatose. She prayed to Lord Shiva with great devotion as soon as she learned about the tragedy. After then, Lord Shiva was pleased with her devotion and restored her spouse back to life. The couple was later blessed with a son.
