Sakat Chauth Vrat Story
According to mythology, on the day of Sakat Chauth, the biggest crisis in the life of Lord Ganesha was averted. That is why it was named Sakat Chauth. The story behind this is that Mother Parvati once went to take a bath. He made his son Ganesh Ji stand outside the bathroom and ordered him to take care of him, saying that unless I come out myself after taking a bath, do not allow anyone to come inside.
Ganesh Ji obeyed his mother and started guarding her outside. Meanwhile, Lord Shiva came and Ganesha Ji kept insisting him to not come inside. Unaware of the reason behind Ganesha’s actions, Lord Shiva came in anger and struck a trident at Lord Ganesha. Due to which his neck went away.
When Mata Parvati came out after hearing the noise outside the bathroom, she saw that the neck of Ganesh Ji was severed. Seeing this, she started crying and she asked Shiva to return the life of Ganesha again.
On this Shivaji took the head of an elephant and applied it to Ganesha. From then on Ganesha started having a trunk like an elephant. Since then, women celebrate the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha of Magha month for the well-being of children. Started fasting on Ganesh Chaturthi.

Disturbed, he went to the king and said that the king does not know what is the reason that the mango is not getting cooked. The king calls out the Rajpandit and inquired about the reason behind it. The Rajpandit said, "Each time the egg will be cooked by sacrificing a child while planting the gooseberry." The king's order was given. The sacrifice began. The family whose turn it was, would send one of their children to be sacrificed. In this way, after a few days, it was the turn of an old lady. The old lady had only one son and was the support of her life, but the decree does not see anything. The sad old lady started thinking, "I have only one son, he too will be separated from me on the day of crisis." Then he thought of a solution. He gave the boy a betel nut and a betel nut and said, "Sit in the hawan by taking the name of God. Sakat Mata will protect you.

Since then, till today the law of worship and fasting of Sakat Mata is going on.
