Karva Chauth: Fasting for husbands' long life

Married women fast from morning for their husbands’ long lives on Karva Chauth. They end their fast in the evening only after seeing the full moon and break it after their husbands offer water and food to them. The custom is generally followed by north Indian Hindus.

On this day, women dress up in their best in traditional attire with mehndi on their hands and gorgeous attire. The festival is not only important for married women but also for newly-wed women.

A lady who has been observing Karva Chauth for the last 28 years shared its rituals. She says, “Karva means a small pot filled with water which is placed in front of Lord Ganesh. On this day, we worship Lord Ganesh for our husbands’ long life. After fasting for the whole day, we follow certain rituals in the evening before we take food or water. Married women who observe fast will see the moon through the sieve. After this ritual, they see their husband through the sieve.”

So, why do married women fast for their husbands? A woman says, “Married women consider their husbands as gods. So if devotees can fast for the Lord, then married women can definitely observe fast for their husbands.”

The most common fasts are

• Surviving on water.
• Eating only fruits and vegetables.
• Eating only one meal a day.
• Giving up non-vegetarian food.
• Eating on alternate days.

Expert speak
“When you fast, a lot of toxins are released from the body,” Setalvad says. You will feel lethargic and moody, but those are just signs of toxics being released.
Nutritionist and fitness expert Asha Bachanni says fasting also helps in weight loss. “Carbohydrates and glucose in the body are used up during a fast. This then breaks down fat cells,” she says.
Fasting can help slow the aging process, adds Bachanni. “Normally, the body’s energy is used up by the digestion process. During fasting, the body focuses on cleansing, boosting the repair mechanism of the body,” she explains.
