Karwa Chauth Vrat Katha (Karwa Chauth 2024 Vrat Katha)

It is from a long time ago. There lived a very beautiful and polite girl in a village, who was the sister of seven brothers. There was a lot of love between brother and sister. All the seven brothers used to pamper their only sister a lot. His sister also got married in a very good house. After marriage, the sister started fasting on Karva Chauth, then when the day of Karva Chauth came, the sister kept a Nirjala fast for the happy life and long life of her husband. But all the brothers became worried, because during this fast one has to remain hungry and thirsty the whole day and they became a little worried after seeing their sister hungry and thirsty.

She wanted her sister not to wait for the moon to rise, to have her meal soon and not to worry. Due to this, all the brothers together made a plan and came up with the idea of ​​showing a fake moon to their sister with the help of a mirror by climbing a nearby tree. He used a mirror to shine light from behind the trees to create a bright light that made it appear as if the moon had come out.

When the brothers told their sister that the moon had come out, when the sister looked at the sky, it looked like the moon. Thinking this, she broke her fast and sat down to eat. As soon as she put a core of food in her mouth, news came that her husband was very ill and he fainted. The sister hurriedly reached her husband. She was very sad to see her husband's condition and started crying. She prayed to the Mother Goddess to find out why she had done this to her husband. Today she had kept a fast for her husband and why did this happen today?

Then Mother Goddess appeared and told the whole truth. Then the sister folded her hands and asked for forgiveness from Mother Goddess and kept fast on all the Chaturthi dates of the year and when the day of Karva Chaturthi came, she kept the fast with true heart and this time broke the fast only after the moon rose at the right time. Mother Goddess was pleased with her true feelings and devotion and her husband got the blessing of life. Since then it is believed that the fast of Karva Chauth should be observed with full devotion and faith, only then one gets its full results.
