Behula

Usha, the daughter of Daitya king Banasura, fell in love with Aniruddha, the son of Pradyumna and grandson of Lord Krishna.

Chand Sadagar was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and for certain reasons, hated Devi Manasa.

In order to obtain the position of a goddess in heaven, Manasa had to get "anjali" by the right hand of Chand Sadagar - the Bhaktasreshto.

He then got Lakshinder married with Behula, and also had an iron palace built without any holes in it, to ensure that no snake could enter it.

On the wedding night, Manasa sent her most poisonous snake Kalnagini to the couple's room and cast a spell on Behula, making her fall asleep.

Hence, she used her large tail to smear the parting of Behula's hair with oil from a lamp, which was considered sinful for a newly wed woman.

Although she faced many dangers during her incredibly long and arduous journey, she eventually reached heaven and pleased all the gods with her enchanting dance.

Manasa, having attained the position of a goddess in heaven, brought back to life Lakshinder as well as the other six sons of Chand.

When they grew up, Lakshindara and Behula decided to marry each other, but when their horoscopes were tallied, they realized that Lakshmindara would die of snakebite on the wedding night.

As per custom, his corpse (like that of any person who died of snakebite) wasn't cremated, but was allowed to float on a raft down the river, in the hopes that he could come back to life due to a miracle.

In 2021, the Bangladeshi rock band Shunno released a folk-rock ballad called ‘Behula’ that was inspired by this story.
