Bahula Chaturthi and Its Story – The story of this fast is related to the Dwapar Yuga. Lord Krishna roared fiercely in the forest as same as a lion does. Moreover, a cow born from Kamudhenu's womb was named Bahula. Lord Krishna decided to test her and that is why he turned himself into a lion.

Bahula said to Lord Krishna that you should let me go as my baby is waiting all day long for me. I will feed him and come back, then you may eat me. Hearing the cow's words, Lord Krishna let her go. After some time, Bahula came back to him. Lord Krishna became happy seeing her honesty and blessed her with a boon.
