Karva Chauth is of particular importance to Indian women as they believe it ensures the well-being,
prosperity and longevity of their husbands. The origin of this festival was based on a very sweet
and noble idea. Though this idea has lost its true sense as today the whole outlook of this festival
has changed. Long time back, girls used to get married at a very early stage, and had to go and
live with their in-laws in other villages. If she had any problems with her husband or in-laws,
she would have no one to talk to or seek support from. Her own parents and relatives would
be quite far and unreachable. There used to be no telephones, buses and trains long ago.
Thus the custom started that, at the time of marriage, when bride would reach her in-laws,
she would befriend another woman there who would be her friend or sister for life. It would be
like god-friends or god-sisters. Their friendship would be sanctified through a small ceremony
right during the marriage. Once the bride and this woman had become god-friends or god-sisters,
they would remain so all their lives and recognize the relation as such.
They would also treat each other like real sisters.
During any difficulty later in life, involving even the husband or in-laws, these women would be
able to confidently talk or seek help from each other. Thus Karva Chauth started as a festival to
celebrate this friendship (relationship) between the once-brides and their god-friends (god-sisters).
Praying and fasting for the sake of husband came later and is secondary. It was probably added,
along with other mythical tales, to enhance the festival. In any case, husband would always
be associated with this festival, because the day of starting this holy friendship between two
god-sisters was essentially the day of bride's marriage to him. Thus praying and fasting by
the wife during a celebration of her relationship with the god-friend would be quite logical.
Thus, originally Karva Chauth is once a year festival to renew and celebrate the relationship
between god-friends (god-sisters). It had a tremendous social and cultural significance once
when world lacked the ways to communicate and move around easily.
This festival is glorified and widely solemnized by Women especially of north-western India.
As the name signifies, Karva meaning a clay pot and chauth corresponding to the fourth,
this festival is commemorated on the the fourth day after the Full Moon in Kartik month
of Indic calendar.
A few days before Karva Chauth, married women buy new karvas, the spherical clay pots and
paint them on the outside with beautiful designs. Inside the pot, they put bangles and ribbons,
home-made candy and sweets, make-up items and small clothes e.g. handkerchief.
The women then visit each other on the day of Karva Chauth or immediately afterward,
and exchange these karvas. Season-wise, soon after the harvest, it is an excellent time
to enjoy festivities, meet one another and exchange gifts. During the time of Karva Chauth,
parents send gifts to married daughters and their children.
Thanks
