Karwa Chauth, also known as Karaka Chaturthi or Karva Chauth, is an annual Hindu festival celebrated on the Chaturthi of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of Kartik. While the date of this celebration remains consistent throughout India, certain regions such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, and South India, which follow the Amant calendar, observe Karva Chauth in the month of Ashwin. In 2023, this significant day falls on November 1st. On Karwa Chauth, married women undertake a nirjala vrat, fasting from dawn until moonrise to pray for the long life of their husbands. They abstain from food and water throughout the day and break their fast after worshipping the moon and offering Arghya. The fast is traditionally concluded when their husbands feed them a morsel of food and a sip of water. Therefore, sighting the moon holds great importance in the Karwa Chauth fast.
