This festival is celebrated on the Chaturthi date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. According to Drik Panchang, this year Nirjala fast of Karva Chauth will be observed on 20 October 2024. Women observe Nirjala fast on this day for the long life and good health of their husbands and break the fast only after offering water to Chandradev at night. On this day, earthen pots are used to offer Arghya to the Moon. Let us know why only earthen vessel is used to offer water to Chandradev on the day of Karva Chauth and why no other metal vessel is used?
Why is Arghya offered with an earthen pot on Karva Chauth?
Earthen Karve is made up of five elements including soil, water, air, fire and sky. The human body is also made up of five elements. It is also considered a symbol of purity. Let us tell you that Karwa is made by soaking soil in water. After this it is dried through air and sunlight. Cooked in fire. In this way Karve is formed from five elements. Therefore, in Karva Chauth, Arghya is offered with an earthen pot. There is a religious belief that its use brings blessings of Lord Brahma and brings happiness, prosperity and prosperity in marital life. The tradition of offering water through earthen pots has been going on for a long time. According to mythology, when Mother Sita and Mother Draupadi observed the Karwa Chauth fast, they also used earthen pots.
