Karva Chauth Vrat Katha
According to the popular story, once upon a time, a Brahmin lived in a village with his seven sons and one daughter. The daughter's name was Veeravati. When she was of marriageable age, her family married her off. When Karva Chauth arrived, Veeravati observed the fast, but due to hunger and thirst, she fainted. Seeing their sister unconscious, her brothers lit a torch behind a tree and tricked her into breaking her fast. As soon as Veeravati ate, her husband died. At night, when Indra's wife came to earth, she saw Veeravati's condition. She told Veeravati to observe Karva Chauth again the following year. Due to the effect of this fast, Veeravati's husband came back to life.
