Karwa Chauth is a special day for married women as it provides them an opportunity
of appeasing Lord Shiva. On this auspicious day, married women observe a day-long
Nirjala fast until the visibility of the moon, worship Lord Shiva, and pray for their
husband’s long life. Here ‘Nirjala’ implies that married women do not eat food and
also do not even drink water on Karwa Chauth. When the moon is visible, they break
their fast with the help of their husband. There is a sheer significance in keeping fast
on Karwa Chauth as it is believed that both wife and husband might develop a long-
lasting relationship.
Here Karwa implies ‘earthen pot’ and Chauth implies ‘fourth’, which further refers to
the fourth day of Karthik’s month. From sunrise till moonrise, married women and
also some single girls observe fast on Karwa Chauth for the longevity of their
husband and finding their desired partner, respectively.
