Veeravati, a beautiful queen was the only sister amongst seven loving brothers. The story goes like this that as the queen was celebrating her first Karva Chauth as a married woman at her parent’s house and seeing her hungry and thirsty as a result of strict fast, the loving brothers thought of showing the moon to her in a different way. They created a mirror in a papal tree that made it look as though the moon had risen. The queen mistook it for the moon and broke the fast. And surprisingly, the moment she ate, she got a news that her husband, the king is dead. The queen was weeping the whole night and eventually, her shakti compelled a Goddess to appear and ask why she cried. The queen explained her pain to the goddess and the Goddess revealed how she had been tricked by her brothers and instructed her to repeat the Karva Chauth fast with complete devotion. It is known that when queen Veeravati repeated the fast, the Yamaraj was forced to bring her husband back to life.

The story of Karwa is such that a woman named Karwa was deeply devoted to her husband. With the intense love and dedication towards him, she had shaktis within her. Once, while bathing at the river, her husband was trapped by a crocodile. Karva bound the crocodile with a cotton yarn and asked the Yamraj (the god of death) to send the crocodile to hell. Yamraj refused. Karva threatened to curse Yamraj and destroy him. Yama, afraid of being cursed by Pativrata (devoted) wife, sent the crocodile to hell and blessed Karva's husband with a long life. Karva and her husband enjoyed many years of wedded bliss.

This story goes like this: Satyavan was a common man and when Lord Yamraj came to procure Satyavan’s soul, Savitri begged him to grant him life. When he did not agree, she stopped eating and drinking and followed Yamraj who was carrying away her dead husband. Yamraj said that she could ask for any other boon except for the life of her husband. Savitri asked that she be blessed with children. Yamraj agreed. And such a devoted wife, a dedicated pativrata lady, Savitri would never let any other man be the father of her children and so Yamraj was left with no other choice but to restore Savitri's husband to life.
