🌼 Sheetala Ashtami Vrat Vidhi – 2026
🌿 On the day of the fast, wake up early in the morning and take a bath.
❌ Do not clean the house on this day. The word Basoda itself means stale food.
On this day, the house is kept “Basoda” (stale). Sheetala Mata holds a broom in one of her hands.
Perform the worship early in the morning before sunrise, because after sunrise the heat increases and the worship of Sheetala Mata (Basoda) is not performed.
🛕 After this, prepare for the worship in front of the idol or picture of Sheetala Mata.
🍚 Offer cold (stale) food such as dry fruits, sweets, pua, puri, vegetables, lentils, rice, lapsi, curd, halwa, sweet rice and roti. Both cooked and uncooked cooling foods can be offered.
❌ On this day do not light the stove or gas in the house.
🙏 Offer water, flowers, rice (akshat) and roli and worship Sheetala Mata with devotion. Recite the Sheetala Mata Stotra and perform night vigil (Jagran).
📖 After the worship, listen to or read the Sheetala Ashtami Katha.
🍛 After the puja, the family eats the same cold prasad together.
🪔 Do not light a lamp (diya) during the worship of Sheetala Mata.
📜 According to tradition:
Across India, the fast of Sheetala Ashtami is observed on Chaitra Krishna Ashtami.
In this vrat, Purva Viddha Ashtami is considered.
In the Skanda Purana, four types of Sheetala Vrat are mentioned.

🥣 Cold (stale) food is offered to Sheetala Mata.
☘️ On the day of worship, the stove is not lit and cleaning is avoided.
🍛 Food is prepared one day before and kept for offering.
🍚 Offerings include curd, puri, halwa, sweet rice, pua and other foods.
🛕 It is believed that worshipping Sheetala Mata protects the family from diseases, fever, boils, eye diseases and epidemic illnesses.
🌺 Long ago, in a town, people did not worship Sheetala Mata. They did not understand the importance and ignored the worship.
👵 One day, Sheetala Mata decided to test people’s devotion and took the form of an old woman.
🍞 She went door to door asking for food and water, but no one helped her.
💛 In the same town, a poor woman lived. She respectfully invited the old woman to her home and served cold food and water with devotion.
⚡ After some time, a terrible disease like smallpox spread throughout the town and people became frightened.
🌿 However, the house of the poor woman who had served Mata remained safe and no one in her family became sick.
🙏 Then the people realized their mistake. They prayed for forgiveness and began worshipping Sheetala Mata sincerely.
✨ Pleased with their devotion, Sheetala Mata freed the entire town from disease.
🌼 Worshipping Sheetala Mata protects devotees from diseases.
🥣 The tradition of offering cold (stale) food comes from this story.
🙏 True devotion and service always bring protection and blessings.
