There are several legends associated with Karwa Chauth. The one most popular is that of Veeravati. Veeravati was observing her first Karwa Chauth at her parents’ home. Her brothers could not bear to see her remain hungry so they reflected light from a mirror behind some trees. Veeravati thought she had seen the moon and broke her fast. Immediately, she was informed that her husband was seriously ill.
Veeravati rushed home. On the way she met Shiva and Gauri. They told her that she would have to undertake the fast seven times, and only then would her husband’s health be permanently restored. Veeravati undertook the seven fasts, and as promised by Gauri, her husband became well again.
