Dūrvāgaṇapativrata (दूर्वागणपतिव्रत) or simply Dūrvāgaṇapati refers to type of Vrata (“religious observances”), according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, this Dūrvāgaṇapativrata is described in the Saurapurāṇa 43.27ff. [...] By its observance a person gets great fortune, progeny, wealth and happiness. [...] If a person observes this Dūrvāgaṇapativrata for five years and then concludes it, gets all his desires fulfilled and finally attains the region of Śiva. Otherwise if a person having controlled his senseorgans performs this vrata for three years on the fourth tithi of the bright-fort night, attains all desirables.
