Answer: Jiutiya
Notes: The Jivitputrika vrat are performed by the mother where she wishes for the wellbeing and a long life of her sons. Hindu women pass this ritual on to younger female generations- in most cases their daughters. If the mother does not have any daughters she will pass it onto her younger sisters. Jivitputrika, is popular among women because Hindu women play a central role in the household; they are responsible for the protection of their children and husband.
