Indian festivals are meant for bonding relationships. Karwa Chauth is the festival for maintaining the love and affection between Husband and Wife. Karwa Chauth = Karwa (Earthen pot, a symbol of peace and prosperity) + Chauth (Fourth) = The festival of Karwa, which falls on the fourth day after the full moon of Kartik month. Indian married women observe a strict fast before sunrise and end in the evening sighting moon after performing all rituals. They don’t even consume a single drop of water in this duration. Karwa Chauth fast is observed for the long life of the husband. It is meant for maintaining strong bond between Husband and Wife.
Scientifically fasting has a biological relevance due to higher detoxification and protein synthesis in the body. As per the study of starvation-resistant biological program, it is proven that the stem cell potency and reproductive potential is preserved during the process. Whereas the high orgasmic frequency among human beings increase their span of living.‪ Now if we attach both the results together, it is clear that fasting leads to longer reproductive capability among females. It directly affects her partner, thus increasing his life expectancy.
Along with this, praying to Moon during Kartik month has extra benefits as the coolness and calmness provides us with better body metabolism. The heat and energy in the body is controlled which in turn is concerned with the digestive, enzymatic, and endocrine systems.
The narrative of karwa chauth first took place between Shiva and Parvati. Shiva told Parvati about the significance of Karva Vrat. The mythological importance has also been mentioned in Mahabharata, where Draupadi inquires about the fast from Lord Krishna. In the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna reminds Draupadi to do the Karva Chauth vrat ritual for Arjuna before he goes for battle. Ever since this vrat has been observed by married women till the present day. Married women who thus offer wishful prayer for saubhagya by observing the Karva Chauth Vrat, acquire saubhagya, progeny and lasting prosperity!! Jai Shiva Shakti ~ Jai ShankarParvati!!
