Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Kartik.
As we see the markets buzzing with women lining up to apply henna (mehendi), we realise that the festival of Karwa Chauth is here. According to the Hindu lunisolar calendar, Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Kartik. This year, the festival falls on Thursday, October 17, 2019. The day will see married women keeping nirjala fast the whole day till evening. They consume food and water only after the moon rises and after making their offerings and praying for their husbands' long life. Women eat sargi before the sun rises and break their fast in the evening after sighting the moon. It's obvious that they brave and fight hunger the whole day and eagerly wait for the moon to rise. Karwa Chauth is probably the only day when people all across the country want to know the exact time of the moonrise in their respective cities.
