Story of Karva Chauth Vrat

According to religious belief, a moneylender had seven sons and one daughter. Once the daughter of a moneylender came to her maternal home and kept a fast on Karva Chauth for the long life of her sweetheart, but when her health started deteriorating due to the waterless fast without drinking water, her brothers planted a tree to break the fast of their beloved sister. A burning lamp was placed behind the sieve under the cover. After seeing this, the moneylender's daughter understood that the moon had come out and considering it as the moon, she broke her fast by offering Arghya. It is believed that due to this deceit committed by the brothers, her fast was broken and Karva Mata got angry and took her husband's life.

It is believed that the moneylender's daughter immediately apologized to Karva Mata for breaking her fast and to rectify her mistake, the next year, by law, she kept the fast of Karva Chauth. This time to avoid any deceit, he himself saw the moon god by placing a sieve and lamp in his hand and offered him Arghya. It is believed that Karva Mata was pleased after observing the fast of Karva Chauth by law and she revived the husband of the moneylender's daughter.
