Mythological story of Budha Pradosh fast
According to the legend, in ancient times a man was newly married. Sometime after marriage, he went to his in-laws’ house to bring his wife. When he started to bid farewell to his wife, his in-laws tried to stop him and said that today is Wednesday and traveling on Wednesday is not considered auspicious. But that person remained adamant on his insistence and did not listen to anyone.
He left the city with his wife. After walking some distance his wife felt thirsty. The husband went to a nearby well in search of water. When he returned with water, he saw that another person with similar appearance was sitting near his wife and his wife was talking to him.

The person became angry and started fighting with the other person. A fierce war started between the two. Within no time a crowd gathered there. The wife was also in a dilemma as to who was her real husband because both of them had exactly the same appearance. When no solution was found, the man remembered Lord Shiva in his mind and prayed, “O Mahadev! I made a big mistake in not listening to the elders. Please save me from this trouble.”
Then there was a voice from the sky and the other person disappeared. That person understood that this was the leela of Lord Shankar. Sitting there he expressed his gratitude to Mahadev. After this the husband and wife reached their home safely. Since then it is believed that by observing the fast of Budh Pradosh and listening to the story, all the troubles of life go away and brings happiness and prosperity.
