Overview

Karva Chauth Puja for families in Rathyatra

Karva Chauth is observed by married women on Kartik Krishna Chaturthi, mainly in North India. The day is kept as a nirjala fast from sunrise, and in the evening women gather for the puja of Goddess Gauri, Lord Shiva and the family of Shiva, with the karva, a small earthen pot, at the centre of the worship.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Keep karvas, a thali, diya, sieve and the Karva Mata picture ready, or ask for samagri.
Tell us how many women will join the katha.
