It is a side of Karwa Chauth that many people celebrating the festival today may never have heard.The Pandavas’ lives were filled with uncertainty exile, conflict and powerful enemies determined to defeat them.
According to a popular legend associated with Karwa Chauth, there came a time when Draupadi became deeply concerned about the difficulties facing her husbands.Unable to simply watch events unfold, she sought the guidance of someone she trusted completely: Lord Krishna.Draupadi asked Krishna what she could do for the well-being and protection of the Pandavas.Krishna’s answer is where the story becomes particularly intriguing.Rather than simply giving Draupadi a ritual to perform, tradition says Krishna told her about another divine couple—Shiva and Parvati.
