Karva Chauth fast is observed for the long life of her husband. It is believed that when there was a war going on between the gods and the demons, the demons were continuously overpowering the gods. In such a situation, the wife of the gods became worried about her husband. When the wife of a god asked to go to Lord Brahma, the wife of all the gods went to the creator Brahma. Here Lord Brahma suggested him to keep a waterless fast.
After this, the wives of the gods observed this fast and the gods were protected. After this, the tradition of observing Karva Chauth fast is going on. During this time, women worship Lord Ganesha along with Shiva, Parvati and Chandra Dev. Bhajans and kirtans are also performed in local temples and women gather and spend their entire day amidst the religious atmosphere. After listening to the story, the women return to their homes and break their fast only after seeing the moon.
