Karwa Chauth Significance

Karwa Chauth holds great significance for married Hindu women in India. Karva is another word for 'pot' and chauth means 'fourth' in Hindi. In Sanskrit scriptures, the festival is referred to as Karaka Chaturthi, karaka meaning an earthen water pitcher and chaturthi denoting the fourth day of the lunar Hindu month.

The fasting of Karwa Chauth and its rituals are observed for the long life of their husband. On this day, married women worship Lord Shiva and break the fast only after sighting and making the offerings to the moon. The fasting of Karwa Chauth is strict and observed without taking any food or even a drop of water after sunrise till the sighting of the moon in the night.
