After Diwali, the traditional Moniya Vrat has begun in Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh. Under this religious tradition, devotees have set out in silence and barefoot for a parikrama of 12 villages. An atmosphere of faith and enthusiasm is visible in the area around the fast and the parikrama.
During Moniya Vrat, devotees observe silence and travel through the designated villages without wearing shoes or slippers. In this tradition, special importance is given to restraint, spiritual practice and devotion. Devotees resolve to complete their journey with full discipline.
At the local level, this tradition has long remained part of the region’s religious and cultural identity. With its beginning after Diwali, activity has increased in rural areas. People are also gathering to see and welcome the devotees during the parikrama.
Moniya Vrat is a distinctive event linked to Bundelkhand’s folk faith and traditions, which continues to keep people’s religious beliefs and cultural heritage alive even today.
