Devachi Chauth
This is the fourth day of the first half of the month of Shravan (July-August). It is sacred to Ganesh and his mother Gauri. Yellow and red silk threads are taken. Sixteen knots are given to the red thread and twenty-one knots are given to the yellow thread. Each such thread is then worshipped. The yellow ones represent Gauri and the red ones represent Ganesh. The number of the amulets thus prepared corresponds with the number of girls and boys in the family. Sweets are prepared and a feast takes place. The red silk amulets are tied to the arms of the boys and the yellow ones to the arms of the girls. Sweets are distributed to all present in the house. It is believed that amulets bring good luck and prosperity to the bearer.
