Karwa Chauth is one of the most widely celebrated festivals among married women in northern and western India. Devotees observe a strict fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for their husbands’ health, prosperity, and long life. The day is filled with rituals, including dressing up in traditional attire, applying mehendi , performing puja at home, and listening to the Karwa Chauth Katha. Women also set up beautifully decorated thalis with lamps, sweets, and Karwa (clay pots) for the puja.

The fast is not just a ritual but also a celebration of love, devotion, and marital bonds, reflecting centuries-old traditions that continue to be cherished across generations.
