SUMMARY:Karwa Chauth
DESCRIPTION:Significance and History \nIn October or November\, during the Hindu lunar month of Kartika\, Hindu women in Northern and Western India observe the festival of Karaka Chaturthi. The event falls on the fourth day of the dark-fortnight\, or Krishna paksha\, of the month of Kartika. Karva is another term for “pot\,” a little earthen pot of water\, and chauth means “fourth” in Hindi. The celebration is known as Karaka Chaturthi in Sanskrit texts\, with karaka denoting an earthen water pitcher and chaturthi denoting the fourth day of the lunar Hindu month. \nWhy do People Celebrate Karwa Chauth? : \n The Legend of Queen Veeravati\nA devoted wife\, Veeravati\, observed her first Karwa Chauth fast. Due to weakness\, she fainted. Her brothers tricked her into breaking the fast by showing a false moon. Soon after\, she received bad news about her husband’s health. She then sincerely prayed and observed another strict fast\, bringing him back to life. \n The Story of Satyavan & Savitri\nSavitri\, a devoted wife\, fasted and prayed for her husband Satyavan\, who was destined to die. When Lord Yama came to take his soul\, Savitri pleaded and showed immense devotion. Moved by her love and determination\, Yama restored Satyavan’s life. \nThe Tale of Goddess Parvati & Lord Shiva\nIt is believed that Goddess Parvati observed strict fasting and penance to marry Lord Shiva. Women follow her example\, fasting for their husbands’ longevity and happiness. \n\n\nCelebration at Krushna Dham Delaware\nAt Krushna Dham Delaware\, \n\n\nOn the occasion of Karaka Chaturthi\, men and women observe fasting and pray for the longevity of their partners. This Hindu festival is celebrated during the Hindu month of Kartik in Krishna Paksha on the Chaturthi tithi\, according to the Hindu calendar. \nIn most states and union territories\, this festival is observed as an optional public holiday. This means that employees may choose to take a half or full day off of work. All schools\, colleges\, universities\, government\, and private offices\, on the other hand\, remain open and functional. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us at Krushna Dham Delaware this Karwa Chauth to seek blessings for an abundant and prosperous year ahead\, through divine grace and community spirit.
