Karwa Chauth 2024: Every year married women eagerly wait for Karva Chauth fast. According to Drik Panchang, this year Karva Chauth fast will be observed on 20 October 2024. Karva Chauth fast has great importance for married women. On this day, women observe Nirjala fast of Karva Chauth for the well-being of their married couple, long life and happiness and prosperity of their husband. In the evening, people do 16 adornments to participate in the worship of Lord Karva Mata, Shiva-Gauri, Ganesha and Kartikeya. The fast is broken only after offering water to Chandradev at night. In Karva Chauth puja, one can also exchange Karve with married women. Let us know how the Karva is exchanged and with whom?
With what to exchange Karwa on Karwa Chauth?
To change a single karwa, two karwa must be done. For this, pots made of clay or brass can be used as per the long standing tradition at home. Of the two Karvas taken in Karva Chauth, one Karva is in the name of Gauri Mata and the other Karva is in the name of oneself. First of all, place some grains on the post and install the karva. After this, place the lamp over the curry and light it. Worship with Roli, Akshat and Kumkum on Karva. After this, crossing both the hands and holding both the Karvas in their hands, they will exchange Karvas while chanting Jai Maa Karva. The karwa will be turned 7 times and during this time take care that the karwa does not collide with each other. In this way, Karva Chauth is replaced with the Karva of Goddess Parvati and blessings of unbroken good fortune are sought from Goddess Parvati. Apart from this, other married women in the house, including mother-in-law, sister-in-law or sister-in-law, are also required to do 1 karwa while observing Karwa Chauth fast and exchange the karwa with each other.
