Mohan Singh
Fasting for longevity is
just illusion and superstitious, from a Spiritual standpoint, the story and
rituals related to Karvaa Chauth are more or less nonsensical. This is
mainly observed by the women of north India; Hindus, Sikhs and some others. It
is virtually unheard or nonexistence in rest of India. This is traditionally
observed few days before Diwali on the Kartik Ki Chauth; married women observe
their ritualistic fast on this day seeking the welfare, well-being, and
longevity of their husbands.
