Mythological Significance of Cucumber on Janmashtami
In Hindu scriptures, the cucumber is associated with life and fertility. It is a fruit rich in seeds, symbolizing the cycle of life and reproduction. Cutting a cucumber on Janmashtami is believed to mark the birth of new life, representing prosperity, growth, and happiness, especially in the context of family and children. Just as a cucumber holds countless seeds, it is believed that, with Lord Krishna’s blessings, one’s lineage and joy in life may also multiply.
