Karwa Chauth is a popular Hindu festival where married women observe this day with fasting and rituals, praying for the long and prosperous lives of their husbands. It is all set to be celebrated on November 1. The festival is primarily celebrated in North India, including regions like Punjab, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh.
While the fasting begins with consuming food from Sargi Thaali at dawn, the night ends with a Karwa Chauth puja, where women sit and tell religious stories. But the real ritual is the most popular, all thanks to Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam and all other Bollywood movies. Its where the wife's break their fast after seeing their husband on the sieve, and the husband makes his wife drink water from the ceremonial tray, signifying the end of her fast.
