Karwa Chauth 2024 Vrat Akranti There is a tradition of observing the fast of Karwa Chauth (Karwa Chauth 2024) on the Chaturthi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. According to the Hindu calendar, this fast will be observed on Sunday, October 20 this year. On this day, married women observe a Mrigatrishna Nirjala fast with the wish of their husband's safety and long life.
This fast kept by married women is considered very important in Sanatan Dharma. On this day, married women worship the entire Shiv family including Goddess Parvati. At some places, unmarried girls also keep the fast of Karva Chauth with the wish of getting a good groom.
The moon has special importance in the fast of Karva Chauth. The fast of Karva Chauth is broken at night only after moonrise. Women first offer water to the moon. After that, they look at the moon and their husband's face through a sieve. It is believed that looking at the husband's face through a sieve increases the husband's age by that many times. After that, there is a tradition of the husband breaking the fast by giving water to the wife.
Pandit Vivekanand Pandey said that this year Karva Chauth fast will be observed on Sunday, October 20. Chaturthi Tithi will arrive on Sunday, October 20 at 10:46 am and will continue till 9 am on Monday, October 21. Moonrise has special significance in this fast.
Arghya will be offered to the moon at 7:40 pm on October 20. Women observe a strict fast on this day and pray for their husband's long life, good fortune and safety. It is believed that observing this fast brings prosperity to the house.
The moon has beauty, coolness, love and fame. It is also blessed with a long life. In such a situation, women worship the moon and pray to their husbands to get all these qualities.
At the end of the fast of Karva Chauth, women look at the moon and their husbands through a sieve instead of looking directly at them. It is believed that there are thousands of holes in the sieve, due to which when we look at the moon, we see as many reflections as there are holes. Now if we look at our husbands through the sieve, then the age of the husband also increases by that much. Karva Chauth is considered incomplete without the use of a sieve.
