Sakat Chauth is a regional Hindu festival observed by women to seek the protection and long life of their sons, linked to the worship of Goddess Sakat, a form of Shakti. Local legends recount the goddess saving families in times of hardship and blessing households with safety and prosperity, reinforcing maternal devotion. The practice rests on traditional rites and highlights the cultural importance of the divine feminine in safeguarding family welfare.
Women fast for their sons' long life, break the fast after moonrise, and perform a puja with offerings of fruits, coconut, flowers, and sweets to Sakat Mata or Lord Ganesha, while reciting a simple mantra.
Regional observances vary, with some communities celebrating on Shukla Paksha Chauth and others on Krishna Paksha Chauth; the exact date and muhurat depend on the local Panchang's tithi and nakshatra.
