Diwali and karwa chauth 2024

Legends Behind Karwa Chauth

Karwa Chauth falls in the wheat sowing season, which is at the beginning of the Rabi crop season. In ancient times, the wheat was stored in huge earthen pots, also called ‘Karwa’, and since it falls on the fourth day of the Kartik month, it began to be called Karwa Chauth.

Women would pray for their husbands to reap a rich harvest. Then there is the belief that if unmarried women observe a fast on this day, they are likely to get the partner of their dreams.

Karwa Chauth symbolises the spirit of romance and affection between a wife and her husband.

Some Bollywood films have also beautifully depicted how Karwa Chauth is celebrated across the country.

Undoubtedly, like every festival, Karwa Chauth has many ancient stories behind it.
