Karwa Chauth

29 October 202613 Kartik 1433 Bangabda

On the dark fourth of Kartik, married women observe a waterless fast from sunrise to moonrise for the long life of their husbands — the fast is broken after sighting the moon and then the husband's face. Primarily prevalent in northern and western India, this vrata is now observed across the country.
