What is Rohini Vrat?

Rohini Vrat is observed when the Rohini Nakshatra rises after sunrise, it’s a spiritual reset button. The fast is especially important in Jainism as it is believed that fasting under this Nakshatra can wash away suffering and obstacles. It helps to cleanse your karma slate. While anyone can technically observe it, it is mainly observed by married women who wish to bring longevity and happiness to their families, and especially their partners.  In ancient texts, Rohini vrat is said to be connected to an ancient story of a queen who fasted during the Rohini Nakshatra to remove suffering from her kingdom. Texts also add that this simple act led to great prosperity, not just for her, but for the entire kingdom.
