Story of Somvati Amavasya
According to the legend, there was a Brahmin family consisting of seven sons and one daughter. All the sons were married but the daughter was not married yet. Due to this the Brahmin and his wife were very unhappy. A monk often used to come to his house to take alms. The sage used to bless all the daughters-in-law and sons with a happy life, but at the time of his daughter, he did not bless. Seeing this, the Brahmin decided to show his daughter's horoscope.
When the pundit saw the horoscope of that girl, there were inauspicious yogas of marriage in it. According to this yoga of the girl, even if her daughter gets married, she will become a widow.
