And the science fact is similar. YES, the climatic conditions plays vital role behind these fastings.

Hi readers,

Let's see the health benefits of fasting in the specified month.

The monsoon gives an asusual introduction during the month of Purataasi in Tamil Nadu while in Kerala, it comes in 2 month advance(Aadi month).

And during the monsoon climate, there will be heavy rain and climatic changes which results in upcoming diseases like malaria, and several flu's.

To get rid of this, our ancestors have made this fasting and related with god so that everyone will follow strictly for their health benefits.
