Karwa Chauth is a Hindu festival which is celebrated by great enthusiasm by married women in India, especially in the northern regions of the country. According to the Hindu Calender, Karwa Chauth generally falls on the fourth day after the full moon in Kartik month which is usually in October or November.

The festival holds a lot of significance for married women who observe a fast from sunrise to moon rise for the long life and well being of their husbands. Over the years married men have also started keeping a fast for their wives in return. It is a sweet gesture which shows the couple’s love, respect and care for each other.

On the day of the festival, women observing the fast begin their day by waking up early before dawn to have sargi which is a special type of pre dawn meal which is prepared by their mother in law for them. They then get ready for the day. They abstain from food and water till moon rise in the evening. The fast is broken only after seeing the moon later in the evening. Prayers are offered to the moon and their husband.

The rituals of Karwa Chauth are for the longevity of one’s partner. They are rooted in love, respect and devotion. On this day women dress up in new clothes. They apply Mehandi on their hands. Gifts are also exchanged on this occasion. This festival is a symbol of strong bond of love between the wife and the husband.
