what is chaturmas
According to Bhagwat Purana, Lord Vishnu took Vaman incarnation to restore the kingdom of heaven to Indra. Bali, the king of demons, gained control over all three worlds. Then Lord Vaman approached King Bali and asked for a donation of three steps of land. The king accepted. Then Lord Vaman measured the entire earth, sky and directions in one step. In the second step I measured heaven. Then he asked Bali where he should take the third step, then King Bali moved his head forward. God was pleased to see the generosity of the sacrifice. He asked Bali to ask for a boon. The king said, stay with me in my palace and give me the opportunity to serve you. But Goddess Lakshmi got disturbed by this promise. He asked Bali to free Lord Vishnu from his promise by making him his brother. Then Lord Vishnu said that he will rest in the underworld for these four months. This is called Chaturmas.
