Karwa Chauuth, also known as Karak Chaturthi, is one of the most famous and favorable Hindu festivals that are observed at the Cottage of the Tent of Krishna Paksha. This festival falls in the month of Kartik during Krishna Paksha Chaturthi. The widely celebrated in northern India coincides with the Sankashti Chaturthi, a day of fasting for Lord Ganesh.
The term Karwa Chauth was derived from Karwa or Karak, which concerns the clay pot of Argha, through which the offer of water is made for a month.
Karwa Chauuth ritual and habit: What do women do on karak chaturthi?
Married women observe Nirjala doors, fasting without food or water, on that day from east to a month and offer prayers for health, longevity and prosperity of their husband. This festival celebrates the bond of love between husband and wife and women who break fast after watching the Moon. Women worship several deities on this day, including Chauth Mat, the goddess Gaur, Lord Shiva, Lord Kartikey and Lord Ganesha.
Women traditionally look at the moon with a sieve and then look at the face of their husband before they took the first sip of water.
In some regions, unmarried girls also observe fasting in some regions and praying the health and long life of their future spouses. Henna is an important ritual of Karwa Chauth celebrations. Religious books Suh as Dharamasindu, Nirnayasindhu and Vratraj mention Karwa Chauuth as Karako Chaturthi.
