On the 4th day of Krishna Paksha in Kartik Month, women observe the Karwa Chauth Pooja and fast to seek long, healthy, and happy lives for their husbands. The day falls between October to November according to the Gregorian calendar. Karwa Chauth is also known as Karaka Chaturthi or Sankashti Chaturthi.
What Are the Reasons Behind Celebrating Karwa Chauth Puja?
In the Hindu religion, Karwa Chauth Pooja holds a special significance. According to Hindu Mythology, once consorts of Gods observed the fast on the Chaturthi of the Kartik mas for the wellbeing of their husbands. Lord Brahma advised the Goddess to observe the fast that the Gods of Heaven could defeat the demons. Due to the Vrat observed by the Goddesses, Gods defeated the demons. Since then the Karwa Chauth Puja and fast have been observed by married women for the goodness and prosperity of their husbands. Unmarried girls keep the fast and do the puja with the desire of having a good, humble, and Shiva-like husband.
However, these days, men also keep this fast for the long life of their wives.
