After she was married at a young age, she came to her parents’ home for her first Karwa Chauth.

Looking at her thirsty and hunger-stricken state, her brothers decided to ease off the situation for their beloved sister. They created a mirror on a pipal tree which looked like the moon. They told Veervati that moon had risen and she believed her brothers and broke the fast. But the moment she took a morsel in her mouth, the family was notified by a servant that her husband was dead. She was heartbroken and wept all night long. Since she was not actually guilty, goddess appeared in front of her.
