Tell your story #20 (Karvachauth)

Hello to all of you.

Hope all of you are doing great.

Firstly thankyou @ruthjoe for hosting this contest.

Today I would like to tell about Karvachauth festival celebrated in india.

Karva Chauth:- Today, I would like to introduce you to two such fasts which are observed to protect the husband and children. Though we all think that it is God who protects everyone and he runs this world, but we cannot deny the fact that miracles also happen in this world and these miracles are the result of the hard work of those people who have truly focused on the Lord and have full faith in Him.

Here in our country, in the month of October, both these fasts are kept on the second Chaturthi and Ashtmi. The fast kept on Chaturthi is called "Karva Chauth" and the fast kept on Ashtmi is called "Ahoi Ashtmi". Both these fasts have great importance for everyone.

So let's talk about the Karva Chauth Vrat. In this fast, we should eat nice food at night on the first day and also drink water before going to sleep, because on the day we observe fast, we will not have to eat or drink anything. On the day of the fast, at 1:00 in the afternoon, take rice and a pot of water in hand and listen to the story. If there is no story, then everything is available on Google, but if there is no story, then at 1:00 in the afternoon, offer water to Sun in the name of Karva Chauth Mata

. In the evening, make 14 Puris or 14 anything like Rasgulle, Barfi or whatever is available with you, take out and Put some money or clothes on it and give it to your mother-in-law or your sister-in-law. At our place, on this day, colorful pots made by suger to serve "karva mata"

After that, prepare dinner in the evening. Whatever you wish, try had to wear red colored clothes and get ready in a very good way. If you want, you can put rose flowers or any other flower or carrot Divya in your hair; it will enhance your beauty and your husband will also be very happy seeing you in this form.
Now when the moon comes out at night, take water in a pot or bowl and go near the moon and see the moon in the veil. Then see your husband also in the same veil. Now your fast is complete. Now drink water from your husband's hands in front of the moon and touch his feet. You should do this work according to your own. If you feel like touching feet, then you may do it or else keep it because touching feet makes the mind of both the husband and wife feel good and it is also said that one should definitely do the work which makes the mind feel good. Now all the members should eat food together.

There are two reasons for keeping this fast, first it increases the lifespan of the husband and I believe that this fast should be kept by both the husband and wife because both really want that their life should remain like this; the second reason is that we will be able to give good sanskar to our children because whatever the children see their parents doing, they do the same and if the parents do something good then the children will also like to do the same and they will understand what is the significance of fasting and upvas.

Thankyou for reading my post.

I hope you will like it.
