Sun Oct 20 01:39:14 UTC 2024: – In the village of Surir, Mathura, women do not celebrate Karva Chauth due to a curse originating from a historical incident over 250 years ago.
– The curse stems from the violent death of a woman’s husband during a dispute over a buffalo on Karva Chauth, leading the cursed woman to state that no woman in the village would celebrate the festival.
– Elders in the village, including a 103-year-old woman, corroborate that this tradition has been upheld due to fears of misfortune for those who participate.
– Despite the ominous history, women in other parts of the region continue to observe Karva Chauth, which is traditionally a day when married women pray for their husbands’ longevity and well-being.
– The article mentions that the festival this year will take place on October 20, 2024, and outlines the significance and rituals associated with Karva Chauth.
– It describes the customs of fasting, offering prayers to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, and specific rituals such as taking “Sargi” a day before the fast.
– The importance of Karva Chauth in Hindu culture is emphasized as a means of ensuring happiness and longevity in marital life.
