On this women married and unmarried,assemble at one place, in their finest attire and start dancing and singing devotional songs.The second day is the fasting day.women live without a morsel of food and drops of water while others take liquid and fruit. On this day, they gaily dress and visit a nearby Shiva temple singing and dancing on the way.
