In Hindu mythology, there are many stories related to the origin of this festival. One of the stories revolves around God Krishna and Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas. According to one version of Mahabharat, Krishna got cut in his little finger while handling sugarcane. Lord Krishna’s wife immediately sent her help to get a bandage cloth. Draupadi who was watching this incident simply tore off a part of her sari and bandaged his finger.

In return for her deed, Krishna promised to protect her in times of distress. He kept his promise and that was how Draupadi's sari became endless and saved her embarrassment on the day she was disrobed in full public view in king Dhritarashtra's court.
