Indian culture and traditions are lovely and beautiful! I just love them! And more so, the stories behind them!! Today is one such festival: Karva Chauth!!:):)
The whole festival is very beautiful! I would always get fascinated whenever my mom would do it. But today i am a little more excited. Seems di is having the fast for her husband and she is kind of keeping me involved to know more and more about it. A lot of people do not understand the whole concept of fasting. It is done in order to sacrifice some thing (in this case, eating) in order to show your reverence towards any cause! Women want to show their love, affection and the spirit to sacrifice in this way:) on this day..
Karva Chauth is celebrated mostly in Northern India. But thanks to movies, serials these days, women from all parts of India celebrate this festival. The day of karva chauth involves fasting throughout the day without water or any kind of food. It is kept for the long life of the woman’s husband. The food is eaten only after the moon comes out and the women offer their prayers to the Goddess Karva and look at their husband’s face.
Spoke to a few friends who got married recently both guys and girls. I was excited to know how they have been doing on their first karva chauth. Got some interesting insights as well. One guy was busy in his office, but he kept the fast along with his wife. Now that is choooo chweeet ..:)And the other girl ...she was like please Chand jaildi aaja..m hungry..:)
I saw the couples of all ages in my society celebrating this festival once the moon was up and it was really mesmerizing....
So, to all the married women out there, Happy Karva Chauth!! Have a happy and fulfilling married life. :)
