India is a festival everyday, however there is a local saying that odisha is 13 festivals for 12 months. It means we celebrate every possible festival i. e many many festivals every month.
Today is one such occasion. Its Sambar Dashami. As per mythology Krishna had cursed his own son Samba with Leprosy as his family of Yadavas were unstoppable especially Samba. He was so handsome that the significants of his step brothers would disguise as his significant to embrace him. For which Krishna cursed him with Leprosy and his only cure was praying to the Sun God.
He dedicated prayers to the sun god for 12 years at the Banks of Chandrabhaga near Konark temple of Odisha and was cured.
Ever since then the mothers pray the sun god on this occasion of Sambar dashami for good health of their children.
How cool is the story?
