Today, Karwa Chauth Vrat is celebrated all over India at different times. Karwa Chauth is a famous Hindu festival that is performed by the Hindu married women. This festival is celebrated on the fourth day of the full moon in the month of Kartik. This year, on November 1, Karwa Chauth falls.
On this holy day, all Hindu married women keep a fast for the whole day. They held this fast for their husband’s long and safe life. Karwa Chauth is widely celebrated in the Northern parts of India, such as Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
A very famous ritual is played on this day, every married woman observes “Nirjala Vrat” After sunrise, they do not have food or a single drop of water for the entire day. AT night, when the moon arises, all women break their fast only by examining the moon and their husbands’ faces through a sieve. After completing this ritual, they implore Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Lord Ganesha, and Karwa Mata for the long life of their husbands.
