Narmada Jayanti is celebrated on the seventh day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Magha. On this day all the devotees worship the Goddess Narmada River. Goddess Narmada is said to bring peace and prosperity to everyone's life. Goddess Narmada had vowed to remain a bachelor forever. Today on the occasion of Goddess Narmada Jayanti, we are going to tell you why she took this vow. There is a story behind this that we will tell you today.

Story- Narmada, the daughter of King Maikhal, is also known as Reva. King Maikhal put a condition for the marriage of Narmada that whoever brings the flower of Gulbakavali can marry his daughter. The opportunity to marry Narmada was received by a prince named Sonbhadra who brought the flower. Now there was little time left in the marriage and Princess Narmada sent a message to the prince through her maid Juhila. Narmada never met Sonbhadra before. Finding the princess's clothes and jewellery, Juhila went to meet Sonbhadra.

Upon reaching there, Juhila did not tell the prince that she was a maid, and Sonbhadra was fascinated by her, considering her a princess. After a long time, when Juhila did not return, Princess Narmada herself went to meet Sonbhadra. But going there she saw that Juhila and Sonbhadra were with each other. Narmada became angry after seeing this scene and was filled with hatred. After that, she immediately went in the opposite direction and never returned. Later, Narmada joined the Arabian Sea instead of the Bengal Sea and she vowed that she would never marry and remain a bachelor. It is said that Sonbhadra regrets his mistake but Narmada never returned. It is said that till today Narmada's lament and the anguish of her sorrow are heard in the sound of deception of her water.
