Falling on Friday, October 10, 2025, this year’s Karwa Chauth coincides with Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of Kartik. Interestingly, in states like Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is observed in the month of Ashwin according to the Amanta calendar. Despite regional variations in the calendar, the festival is celebrated on the same day across the country.
Karwa Chauth also aligns with Sankashti Chaturthi, a day dedicated to Lord Ganesha, and devotees often offer prayers to Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and Lord Kartikeya as part of the rituals. Women begin their day before sunrise with Sargi, a pre-dawn meal, and abstain from food and water until they sight the moon at night.
