Story of Karwa Chauth

The most popular story is about Queen Veeravati. She fainted during her fast, and her brothers tricked her into thinking the moon had risen. She broke her fast early, which caused her husband’s death. Later, with the blessings of Goddess Indrani and her strong devotion, she continued to observe Karwa Chauth every month and finally brought her husband back to life. This story highlights the power of faith and love.
