Karva Chauth Vrat Katha:

According to the Karva Chauth fast story, a moneylender had seven sons and a daughter named Karva. Once a fast was observed in his house on the day of Karva Chauth.

When everyone started eating that night, Karva's brothers urged her to eat. She refuses, saying that the moon has not yet come out and that she will eat food only after offering Argha (water) to the moon.

The condition of a hungry-thirsty sister since morning has not been seen with her brothers. The youngest brother lit a lamp away in a peepal tree and said to his sister - break the fast; The moon has come out.

The sister did not understand the cleverness of the brother and she ate a morsel. Just after eating a morsel, she received the news of her husband's death.

For a year, sadly, she sat with her husband's dead body and she had been gathering the grass growing on her husband's body. The next year, when Kartik Krishna Chaturthi came again, she fasted Karva Chauth with complete rituals, as a result, her husband came to revive.

The beauty of Karva Chauth fast:

It is believed that if Married Women keep fast on this day, then their husbands live a long life, and their household life begins to be pleasant.

Although people who believe in Hinduism all over India celebrate this festival with great pomp, in North India, especially Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, etc., this day is a different sight.

On the day of Karva Chauth Vrat, where the story goes on another day, on the other day, the eyes of the marriages become desperate for the moon. The view of the roofs of houses is also worth seeing when the moon comes out.

In fact, after keeping fast for the whole day for their husbands' long life, finally seeing the twinkling moon, women open their fast by eating a morsel from their moons' hands.

In the morning before 4:00 am the fast of Karva Chauth begins, and after Moon seeing (Chandra Darshan) the fast can be opened. Lord Shiva, Mother Parvati, and Lord Shri Ganesh are worshiped on this day and the story of Karva Chauth Vrat is heard.

Normally, this fast is done continuously for 12 or 16 years after marriage, but married women can keep this fast for a lifetime as per their wish. It is considered that there is no better fast than Karva Chauth for the long life of married women husbands.
