Sakat Chauth Vrat Story-
According to mythology, on the day of Sakat Chauth, the biggest crisis on 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 outside. At the same time Lord Shiva came to meet Mata Parvati but Lord Ganesha asked him to stay at the door for some time. Lord Shiva felt extremely hurt and humiliated by this. In anger, he 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. In this way Lord Ganesha got a second life. From then on Ganesha started having 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 .
