Story of Vaikuntha Chaturdashi in Hindi (Vaikuntha Chaturdashi Vrat Katha In Hindi)

At that time, the idea of testing Lord Vishnu came to Mahadev’s mind. For this he reduced one flower from those 1 thousand lotus flowers. When the worship of Lord Vishnu was about to be completed, he found that there was less than 1 lotus flower out of 1 thousand. Due to less number of lotus flowers, Vishnuji’s resolution would have remained incomplete.
After thinking for some time, Lord Vishnu thought that one of my names is Kamalnayan, that is, my eyes are also like lotus. Thinking this, Lord Vishnu took out one of his eyes and offered it to Mahadev and fulfilled his resolution. Mahadev was very happy seeing the devotion of Lord Vishnu.
Mahadev appeared and gave back one of Lord Vishnu’s eyes and also presented him with the all-powerful Sudarshan Chakra. That day was the Chaturdashi date of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month. Mahadev said, ‘Whoever will worship both of us together today. His every wish will definitely be fulfilled.
Since then, Lord Vishnu is being worshiped jointly with Lord Shiva on Vaikuntha Chaturdashi. On this day, devotees take special place at Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi, which is called Manikarnika Snan.
