FAQs
A vow becomes spiritually effective through deliberate intention (saṅkalpa) and purity practices like ritual bathing.
No named tīrtha; the act is general and can be performed wherever proper practice is possible.
On Aṣṭamī and Caturdaśī, make saṅkalpa properly and perform prātaḥsnāna (morning bath).
