About Karwa Chauth
Karwa Chauth is a one-day fast kept by married women for the long life of their husbands, observed on the fourth day of the dark fortnight of Kartika. The fast is strict — no food or water from sunrise until the moon rises.
The evening is spent in sargi exchanges and the story of Karwa Chauth is narrated in a group. When the moon appears, women view it through a sieve and then look at their husband's face before breaking the fast, a ritual that has become one of the most recognisable images of the North Indian wedding calendar.
