Karwa Chauth 2020: The Story or Vrat Katha of Karwa Chauth
Long ago, a man named Vedsharma and his wife Leelavati lived a happy life with seven sons and a daughter named Veeravati. The girl was the family’s favorite. After her marriage, when Veeravati observed her first Karwa Chauth, she faced many hardships. She couldn’t go without food and water and passed out. After seeing her condition, the brothers decided to cheat on their sister by having her break Karwa Chauth quickly.
One of the brothers climbed a tree with a lamp. When Veeravati became aware, the other brothers told her that the moon had risen and took her to the terrace to see the moon, so that she could break the fast.
Seeing the lamp, she thought the moon had really risen behind the tree and Veervati quickly broke it. According to popular belief, after her third bite, she was called by her in-laws and told them that her husband had passed away. While she was crying inconsolably, the goddess Indrani appeared and told her that she had broken the fast without giving any argha or offering to the moon and that is why her husband died. The goddess also said that if she kept chauth vrat every month, her husband would return. When Veervati followed the rituals, as suggested by the goddess, with devotion, her husband woke up.
Women read this story which is the Karwa Chauth vrat katha and worship Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha. Before breaking the fast, they offer prayers to the moon.
