Karva, also known as Karwa, is a Hindu festival celebrated by married women in North India. It falls on the fourth day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Kartik, usually in October or November. The festival is primarily observed by women for the well-being and longevity of their husbands.
The word "Karva" refers to an earthen pot, which holds great significance during the festival. Women decorate the Karva with various designs and colors, and it becomes a central element of the celebration. Married women observe a day-long fast, abstaining from food and water, starting before sunrise and breaking it only after moonrise.
The main ritual of the day involves gathering with other married women in a group, often in someone's home or a community gathering space. They form a circle and pass around the Karva, along with other sacred items like vermillion, bangles, and sweets. The women sing traditional songs and tell the Karva Chauth story, which typically involves the legend of Queen Veervati.
According to the legend, Queen Veervati's intense devotion and strict fasting led to the divine intervention that saved her husband's life. The story symbolizes the strength of a woman's love and her commitment to her husband's well-being.
The fast is broken after the moonrise, and the first sight of the moon is eagerly awaited. Once the moon is spotted, the women offer prayers and water to the moon before breaking their fast with the first sip of water and a meal prepared by their husbands.
Karva Chauth is not just a religious event but also a cultural and social celebration that strengthens the bond between married couples and promotes unity among women. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and expressing love and devotion within the sacred institution of marriage.
