12-Dwaadashee Vrat-12th Day Vrat
See also    List of Dwaadashee

On Dwaadashee, one should take A-Yaachit food only one time in the night. If somebody eats food asked in alms and keep fast on Dwaadashee, his fast will not be successful.

Akhand Dwaadashee Vrat
Maargsheersh Shukla 12th. This Dwaadshee bestows lots of Punya, if kept fast and worshipped Vishnu on this day. Vratee should take bath with Panchgavya mixed water and do Paaran with that water only. Donate a pot filled with barley and pray - "Hey Bhagavan, Whichever Vrat has not been done properly during my last 7 lives, they all become proper (complete) and give me unbroken fruit. As you are present in this world in your unbroken form, in the same way my all Vrat should also be unbroken." Thus beginning from Maargsheersh and ending in Phaalgun, it should be done every month for four months. When it is done from Chaitra to Aashaadh, donate a pot full of Sattoo. Or it can be done from Shraavan to Kaarttik also.
