On this day, married women eat Sargi before sunrise and stay without food and water for the whole day and pray for the long life of their husbands.

Karwa Chauth 2022 Date

The married women worship Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati during the night and pray for the husband’s healthy, happy and long life. After this, women break their fast by taking water from the hands of their husbands only after seeing the moon.

The Chaturthi tithi falls on two days Oct 13 and Oct 14, so in such situation, many people get confused about when they should observe the nirjala vrat for Karwa Chauth.

The fast is observed during Krishna Paksha Chaturthi of Kartik month and the Drik Panchang says that according to the Amanta calendar which is followed in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Southern India, Karwa Chauth falls in Ashwin month. However, it is observed on the same day in all states, and only the name of the month differs.

Now, as per the Drik Panchang, Karwa Chauth puja muhurat will start at 05:54 pm and end at 07:08 pm. And the Chaturthi tithi will remain from 01:59 am on Thu, Oct 13 till 03:08 am on Friday, Oct 14.

The Karwa Chauth upavasa time begins from 6:20 am to 8:09 pm on Oct 13. It will last for 13hrs and 49mins. This year, married women should keep the Karwa Chauth vrat on October 13, as the Chaturthi begins on this day and ends early on October 14.

Legends Related to Karwa Chauth

The most common legend behind this festival is of the beautiful queen, Veeravati. The queen was one sister among her seven brothers. They loved her a lot. On her first Karva Chauth, after her marriage, she was at her parents’ house. She kept her fast and was feeling very hungry and was waiting for the moon to rise soon.

On seeing their sister so troubled, the brothers asked her to break the fast but she didn’t agree. Seeing her go through such pain, they tricked her and placed a mirror in a Pipal tree, and this looked like a moonrise. They created a fake moon to make her believe that it has risen. She believed them, and the moment she ate, she came to know that her husband has died.

Another legend is linked with a story in Mahabharata. Draupadi had kept this fast to pray for the safety and long life of her husband. During Arjun’s penance in the Nilgiris, the other Pandava brothers faced lots of struggles in his absence. Draupadi then approached Lord Krishna and asked for his help. Lord Krishna then told her that Goddess Parvati had also kept a fast for her husband like this once. This inspired her and she kept this fast of Karwa Chauth and soon the Pandavas were able to succeed.

The next belief is of a woman whose name was Karva. She was a very devoted wife. She was once having a bath in a river, and her husband was caught by a crocodile. She immediately put a cotton yarn across the crocodile and prayed to the God of death-Yama to descend him to hell.

When he refused to help her, she cursed God and warned him that she will destroy him. Afraid of her curse, Yama sent the crocodile to hell and granted long life to Karva’s husband. And they both lived happily.

Importance of Karwa Chauth

From a practical point of view, the fasting of Karva Chauth strengthens the relationship between husband and wife. On the other hand, staying hungry and thirsty for the whole day, and praying for the long life of the husband, indicates the dedication of the wife to the husband. At the same time, the husband also shows his love by giving gifts to his wife. In the holy scriptures, the Karva Chauth fast is known as a fast of prosperity for women.

How is Karwa Chauth Celebrated?

On Karwa Chauth, married women adorn new clothes, mostly in red, and apply henna on their hands signifying the love of their husbands. The women keeping a fast on this day come together and celebrate it while narrating legends related to it, the Vrat Katha, and singing songs, all of this turns the day into a lively festival.

Later at night, after the moon rises, women break their fast by offering water to the moon.

Karwa Chauth Puja Vidhi

On the day of Karva Chauth, install idols or pictures of Lord Shiva, Maa Gauri, and Ganesha, a lotus filled with water or a Kalash at the northeast. Put rice in the Kalash. Now tie roli, rice tika on the urn, and molly on the neck of the lotus. Next, Goddess Gauri is worshipped and adorned with vermilion.

After this, with four puris and four laddus at three different places and one on the Kalash and the other on the Karva, the third one is tied on the side of the. Next, the women read the story by lighting a lamp of ghee in front of Mother Goddess and perform the aarti at the end. The women then offer the water-filled urn to the moon. Finally, the husband breaks the fast by offering you water and something to drink.
