It is said that in the Satyuga there was a potter in the kingdom of King Harishchandra. Once, despite all efforts, when his dishes were being left raw, he told this to a priest. The priest told him that the problem would be solved only by the sacrifice of a young child. After that, the potter caught a child and put it in Anwa. It was the day of Sakat Chauth. Even after much searching, when her mother could not find her son, she prayed before Ganesh Ji with a sincere heart. On the other hand, when the potter woke up in the morning, his dishes were cooked in Anwa, but the child was also safe.
After this incident, the potter got scared and reached before the king told the whole story. After this, the king summoned the child and his mother, and the mother described the glory of Sakat Chauth, who had overcome the troubles. Since then, women started fasting for the good luck and long life of their children and family.
