Story Behind Khudurukuni Osha

The background behind this festival is that Tapoyi, a girl, had seven brothers. She was the smallest. She also had 7 in-law sisters. Being the only girl in the family, she received far too much pampering. But after her mother and father passed away, everything changed for her. Her brothers then left the house to conduct business and trade, leaving her with her in-law sisters. Following this, she was severely tormented by her seven in-law sisters and was denied nourishment. Only her newest sister-in-law showed her kindness. This went on until Tapoyi began to idolise Maa Mangala in order to get her brothers to return. since there was no indication of them 12 years before they vanished.

Tapoyi prayed to Maa Mangala for the safety of her brothers out of concern for them. After that, her brother visited and disciplined her six sisters-in-law while still taking care of her. Everyone eventually learned that Tapoyi was an angel who had been born on earth as Tapoyi. As a result of their regret, Tapoyi is now revered as Khudurukuni. To this day, females worship by praying for their brother’s prosperity in a similar manner to how she performed puja for her brother to return.
