Karwa Chauth 2024: Karwa Chauth, also called Karaka Chaturthi, is a prominent Hindu festival celebrated in India. This year, it falls on Sunday, October 20, 2024, according to Drik Panchang. The fast, observed by married women, is centered around the moon sighting, known as Chandra Darshan. Women fast from dawn to moonrise, abstaining from food and water, and break their fast only after seeing the moon at night.
This ritual is believed to enhance the bond between husband and wife and promote the husband’s longevity. The timing of the moonrise is eagerly awaited as it marks the conclusion of the fast.
