Conclusion of the 5-day Jayaparvati Vrat in Gujarat — the fast is broken and Goddess Parvati is worshipped.

Jayaparvati Vrat Ends marks the conclusion of the five-day Jayaparvati Vrat, kept mainly in Gujarat and western India and dedicated to Goddess Jaya, a form of Parvati. The fast begins on Ashadha Shukla Trayodashi and runs to Krishna Tritiya. On the first day javara — wheat seeds — are sown in a small earthen pot and watered each morning; the pot is worshipped daily for five days. The final night is the Jagaran: observers stay awake through the night singing bhajans and aartis. On the concluding morning the grown wheat grass is taken from the pot and immersed in a river or tank, and the fast is broken with a full meal of salted wheat rotis and vegetables — salt having been avoided entirely through the five days. The vrat is kept for five, seven, nine, eleven or twenty consecutive years before udyapan.

Salt is avoided completely across all five days — this is the defining restriction. The fast is broken on the concluding morning with a full meal including salt, wheat rotis and vegetables.
