Karva Chauth Mythology
According to mythology, there was a moneylender in ancient times. He had seven sons and a daughter named Karva. Once the fast of Karva Chauth was kept in the house of the moneylender, then in the evening when everyone sat down to eat, Karva’s brothers then asked her to have the meal. On this, Karva refused and said that there is no moonrise yet and she will take food only after offering arghya to the moon. Karva had observed a nirjala fast and her brothers did not tolerate this condition of her, so the youngest brother lit a diya on the peepal tree far away and lit it in such a way that Karva could not understand whether it was the moon or the lamp. Unknowingly, mistaking the diya as the moon, she broke her fast and consumed the first bite of the meal. As soon as Karva ate the food, her husband died. Full of grief, Karva sat with her husband’s dead body for a year and collected the fodder and the grass that grew on it. When the Chaturthi tithi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month came the next year, then she observed Karva Chauth fast with full rituals. This gave life to her husband.

Sargi In Karva Chauth
In Punjab, Karva Chauth begins with Sargi. Sargi means the food or the mean consumed before sunrise on the day of Karva Chauth. Mother-in-law prepares sargi for women who take a vow to observe Nirjala fast on this day. Then in the evening, all the women gather at one place and complete the pheri ritual, in which all the women sit in a circular circle and circulate the puja thali to each other in the whole circle. Also, during this ritual, one elderly woman sings the story of Karva Chauth. Talking about other states of India such as Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, there is a custom to worship Gaur Mata. In this, the idol of Gaur Mata is made from cow dung, and then it is worshiped.
