Jitiya Vrat Thread Rules: Jitiya Vrat has a very special significance in India. It is also called Jivitputrika Vrat, in which mothers fast without water for the long life and good health of their children. The most important part of this fast is the "Jitiya thread", which is worn by both children and mothers. This thread is not just a thread, but is considered a symbol of an unbreakable relationship and protection between mother and child. Like every year, in 2025, women will also observe this fast with great devotion, but often the question comes to mind: What should be done with this thread after the fast is completed? Let us know the correct rules and religious beliefs from the Bhopal resident astrologer and Vastu consultant, Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma.

Importance of Jitiya Vrat
Jitiya Vrat is not only a festival associated with religious faith, but it is also a festival that strengthens the relationship between motherhood and the child. Especially in Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of Nepal, it is followed with great devotion. Mothers fast for three days, and during this time, they make the child wear the Jitiya thread. Wearing this thread is considered a symbol of safety and longevity for the child.

What to do with the thread after the fast?

When the fast is over, this thread should not be removed from the body for at least 24 hours. It is believed that the right time to remove it is during the puja or the next day. After removing this thread, this thread should not be thrown anywhere in a simple way; rather, it is important to follow some rules.

1. Immersion in water

Most of the women follow this thread in a holy river, pond, or well after the fast. It is believed that by doing this, the blessings of Jimutvahan remain, and the obstacles coming on the child are removed. It is considered auspicious and right from the religious point of view.

2. Keeping under a Tulsi or Peepal tree
If it is not possible to go to the river or pond, then women can also keep this thread under a Tulsi or Peepal plant. Both Tulsi and Peepal trees are considered very sacred, and by offering thread on them, the long life of the child and the happiness and prosperity of the family are maintained.

3. Keeping it at the place of worship in the house
Another way is to keep this thread at the place of worship in the house. It is believed that this keeps positive energy in the house and the mother's blessings always remain on the children. This method is better for those who do not want to take the thread anywhere outside.

What not to do
1. Never throw the thread in the garbage.
2. Do not let it come under the feet or in an unholy place.
3. Do not disrespect the thread, as it is a symbol of faith and relationship.
