Karwa Chauth Vrat Katha
According to celebrated beliefs, a moneylender had seven boys and a girl. His daughter-in-law and daughter, including Sethani, kept the fast of Karva Chauth. When the sons of moneylender started feeding at night, they asked their sister for food. On this, the sister responded- "Brother! The moon has not come out yet; after hearing the sister's action, the brothers went out of the city and burnt the fire and showing the light from the sieve, she said to her sister, "Sister, the moon has come out.
When he heard this, he said to his parents, "Come, you too, give the moon a chance." But they knew this scandal, they said, "Bai Ji! Right now the moon has not come, your brother is cheating on you, the light of fire is showing with sieve." Even after listening to Bhabhi, he did not pay any attention and made the light shown by the brothers only by eating food. Thus, Ganesh ji got dissatisfied with the dissolution of the fast. After this, her husband became seriously ill, and whoever was in the house got sick.
When he came to know about his faults, he repented and started praying for Ganesh ji and started the fasting of Chaturthi as per rituals. Respecting everyone on the basis of devotion, put the mind into accepting the most blessings. Thus, seeing Kirtan with reverence and devotion, Lord Ganesha was pleased with him, and after giving his life to his husband, made him health-free after wealth. In this way, whoever renounces deceit and devotes devotion to Chaturthi, they will get all kinds of pleasure.
