The ଦୁତୀୟା ଓଷା ବା ପୁଅ ଜିଉନ୍ତିଆ ଓଷା Brata Katha Book is a traditional Odia religious text detailing the rituals and stories of Dutiya Osha (also known as Pua Jiuntia or Dwitibahana Osha)

Author/Compiler: ପୁରୁଷୋତ୍ତମ ଦାସ (Purusotama Das) (noted for traditional Brata Katha collections)

General, women who wish for a child or a son observe this Osha. Mothers also perform it for the long life of their children. If someone narrowly escapes danger or an accident, people often say, ‘Your mother must have done the Dutia Osha for you; that’s why you were spared. Mothers with sons observe this Osha to remove the Chandra Dosha (malefic influence of the moon). Just as moon worship is essential for counteracting the negative effects of the moon during childbirth, this Osha is linked to the worship of the Sun god.

This Osha is also known as Puajiuntia Osha, where ‘Pua’ means son and ‘Jiuntia’ means life.

There is a legend associated with this Osha, in which a mother observed the festival, resulting in her sons being revived after being killed by an enemy.

This is why it is called Pua-Jiuntia Osha. Lord Duti Bahana is worshipped during Dutia Osha or Puajiuntia Osha. According to Hindu scripture, Lord Duti Bahana is the son of the Sun god and was born to a Brahmin widow.
