Story
Father Loknath said that he would light lamps and incense in the Ashram premises after fasting in Kartik month to prevent life-threatening diseases. From there, folk worshipers observe this fast or 'Kartikabrata' on the last 15 days of the Kartik month every year to wish the loved ones good luck. Thousands of traditional devotees prayed at the Loknath Brahmachari Ashram and the temple at Swamibagh in the capital on the occasion of Kartikabrata or Rakher Upobash. When the lamp was lit in the evening, they broke the fast.
