More about Karwa Chauth
Observed predominantly in North and West India, Karwa Chauth marks the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of Kartik. Interestingly, in regions like Maharashtra and Gujarat, it falls in the month of Ashwin as per the Amanta calendar. Despite these regional differences, the celebration remains beautifully united by its spirit of love, faith, and togetherness.

Women start their day with Sargi, a pre-dawn meal prepared lovingly by their mothers-in-law, and then observe the nirjala vrat (fast without food or water) until they sight the moon. Once the moon rises, rituals begin, offerings are made, prayers are chanted, and the fast is broken with water and sweets offered by the husband.
This year, Karwa Chauth also coincides with Sankashti Chaturthi, a day dedicated to Lord Ganesha. As per Drik Panchang, devotees are advised to offer prayers to Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kartikeya as part of the evening rituals.
