Karwachauth

Karwa Chauth is also referred to as ‘Karak Chaturthi’ in some places. ‘Karva’ or ‘karak’ in Hindi means ‘a pot’ while‘Chauth implies ‘fourth day’. The earthen pot is then used to make water offerings to the moon on the fourth day after the full moon,
during the Kartik month. The karwa also called ‘Argha’ is considered very auspicious and given away to an eligible woman in the family or to Brahmin as ‘Dan’ after the puja. The festival of Karwa Chauth is celebrated with immense fervor and zeal all over India. In the northern states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh the festivities are observed on a grander scale.
Karwa Chauth is celebrated as ‘Chhath’ in the Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. The festival of KarvaChauth also coincides with a one-day festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, known as Ganeshti Chaturthi.
