Karwa Chauth 2025 Puja: Karwa Chauth, a festival symbolizing eternal marital bliss and love, is celebrated exactly 12 days before Diwali. The Karwa Chauth fast holds great significance in Hinduism. This year, Karwa Chauth falls on Friday, October 10th. According to beliefs, on this day, women observe a day-long fast without water, praying for their husbands' long life. On Karwa Chauth, Karwa Mata is worshipped, and offerings are made to the moon from an earthen pot. After this, women break their fast by drinking water from their husbands' hands. Some women drink all of this water, while others give it to their husbands.

However, according to religious beliefs, women should give this used water to their children, not their husbands. Now, the question is: to whom should women give their used water after the Karwa Chauth fast? Why should they give their used water to their children after the Karwa Chauth fast? Let's learn about the belief behind this:

Why should mothers feed their children water after Karva Chauth?

Prevention of premature death: After the Karva Chauth fast, women should give their children the remaining water they have left over. Remember to drink water from a pan-cooked vessel. It is believed that this prevents premature death for children. However, this is merely a religious belief, intended to wish for their children's long life and good health. There is no scientific evidence for this.

The Impact of Pativrat Dharma: According to religious beliefs, women observing the Karva Chauth fast pray for their husband's long life and the well-being of their family members. Therefore, when drinking water after the fast, pray to the Mother Goddess for the well-being of their family.

This belief is linked to Lord Ganesha.

According to religious beliefs, Lord Ganesha granted mothers a boon that feeding their children the leftover water from the water their husbands drank at the end of the fast would prevent them from dying in any accident. For this, Lord Ganesha said, "Mother, I grant you a boon today." She said, "What?" Ganesha replied, "When mothers fast all day and then look at their husbands in the evening after seeing my face in the moon, they will be covering Shanidev. After the fast is over, when the husband gives water to his wife, the child should be given the remaining water. By doing this, the child will be protected from the danger of premature death."
