10th October 2025
Karva is another word for a small earthen pot of water and chauth means ‘fourth’ in a reference to the fact that the festival falls on the 4th day of the dark-fortnight, or Krishna paksh in the month of Kartik.
One hypothesis about the origin of this festival is that in earlier days, men would travel to far off places for military campaigns & the wives would often pray for their safe return.
The festival also coincides with the wheat-sowing time. Big earthen pots in which wheat is stored are called Karwas, so the fast may have begun as a prayer for a good harvest.
Karva Chauth celebration has now evolved & personifies a day of love, care & commitment & reflects the ethos of the beautiful sentiment of the everlasting bond between a husband & wife.
By the successful completion of this Fast,
the woman ensures the long life, well being & prosperity of her husband & the husband gets to understand the perseverance of her Love, thereby ensuring eternal marital bliss.
Best wishes to all the Couples on this day!
May your love always remain & may you stay blessed forever.
