Prayagraj, Amrit Vichar: Married women will observe the fast of Karva Chauth, which removes negativity and infuses mental and spiritual positive energy, by remaining fasting on Sunday for happiness, peace in their married life and longevity of their husbands. Karva Chauth festival, celebrated on the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month, expresses the feeling of devotion towards the husband. It reflects the harmony and warmth of the relationship between husband and wife and even modernity has not been able to shake this tradition. More sensitivity, dedication and expression of love are being reflected in this. On this day, married women observe fast for Maa Gauri for their good fortune by remaining fasting for the whole day and after worshiping, they break the fast by drinking a sip of water from the husband’s hand.
Dr. Kumud Dubey, senior scientist of Prayagraj Forest Research Center, said that she is a scientist first and an Indian woman, who tries to follow traditions as much as possible. We should hold firmly to our ancient traditions and values. If we distance ourselves from it in the name of modernity, then we will be cut off from our roots and our existence will cease to exist. Some Indian women, dressed in the garb of modernity and chasing western culture, are forgetting old traditions in the name of conservatism. He said that in the changing environment, Karva Chauth fast has also become globalized. Now this festival is celebrated with great pomp not only in the country but also in developed countries like America, Canada, Singapore, Dubai and other places where Indians live. In many other states of India including Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, everyone from rural women to modern women observe this fast of Indian tradition. She told that her sister-in-law, who lives in London, observes this fast with great devotion and enthusiasm along with her friends.
