Sakat Chauth fast story-

A potter lived in a city. Once he made a utensil and planted gooseberry, but the gooseberry did not cook. Distressed, he went to the king and said that the king does not know the reason why the gooseberry is not ripening at all. The king called the Rajpundit and asked the reason. Rajpundit said, "Every time a child is sacrificed while planting gooseberry, the gooseberry will ripen." The king's order was done. The sacrifice started. The family whose turn it was, would send one of their children for the sacrifice. In this way, after a few days the turn of an old woman's son came.

The old lady had only one son and was the support of her life, but Rajagya does not see anything. The sad old woman started thinking, "I have only one son, he will also be separated from me on the day of distress." That's why she thought of a solution. He gave the boy a betel nut and a betel leaf and said, "Take the name of God and sit in the awan." Sakat Mata will protect you.

On the day of Sakat, the child was made to sit in a manger and the old woman sat in front of Sakat Mata and started praying. Earlier, it used to take many days to ripen the gooseberry, but this time with the grace of Sakat Mata, the gooseberry ripened in just one night. When the potter saw it in the morning, he was surprised. The gooseberry was ripe and the old woman's son was alive and safe. By the grace of Sakat Mata, other children of the city also came to life. Seeing this, the townspeople accepted the glory of Mata Sakat. Since then till today the law of worship and fasting of Sakat Mata is going on.

Bhadra's shadow on Sakat Chauth

However, this time people may face some difficulty in worshiping on Sankashti Chaturthi or Sakat Chauth. Actually, Bhadra's shadow will remain on Sakat Chauth today. Bhadrakal will start from 7:15 am today, which will last till 12:09 pm. Auspicious works are not done during Bhadra Kaal, so it would be better to worship Sakat Chauth after Bhadra Kaal is over.

Let us inform that very auspicious yogas like Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Preeti Yoga and Ayushman Yoga are being formed on this Sakat Chauth. In such a situation, the results of worship done on this day will be many times more. On the other hand, the time of moonrise on Sakat Chauth will be 8:41 tonight.

Do not do this work on the day of Sakat Chauth

It is prohibited to do some work on the day of Sankashti Chaturthi. So avoid doing this work today.

- Black clothes should not be worn on the day of Sakat Chauth. It is auspicious to wear red or yellow colored clothes on this day.

Apart from worshiping Lord Ganesha on the day of Sakat Chauth, it is also very important to offer Arghya to the moon. This fast is not complete without offering Arghya to the moon. But during this, keep in mind that while offering Arghya to the moon, splashes of water should not fall on your feet.

- If you are observing the fast of Sakat Chauth, then without reading the story, you will not get the full result of the fast. Open your fast only after this.

- Lord Ganesha is worshiped in Sakat Chauth and Tulsi is never used in it. Offer only durva and yellow-red colored flowers to Lord Ganesha.

Do not consume tamasic food on this day. Even if you are not fasting, do not consume garlic, onion, non-veg and alcohol etc.
