Hence especially for pilgrims or for people who were in religious order a vratam called caatur maasya vratam is prescribed. It is suggested that for the type of people mentioned above should be at one place and should not travel during these four months. As these fall in rainy season possibly the origin of this vratam is more of travel convenience than based on rigorous astrological rules. 31
