New Delhi: Karwa Chauth fasting is observed during Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of Kartik; however, Ashwin month is now in effect during Karwa Chauth according to the Amanta calendar used in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Southern India. Karwa Chauth is observed on the same day in every state; the only difference is the name of the month.

Karwa Chauth day is also known as Karak Chaturthi (करक चतुर्थी). Karwa or Karak refers to the earthen pot through which water offering, known as Argha (अर्घ), is made to the moon. Karwa is very significant during Puja and it is also given as Dan to the Brahmin or any eligible woman. Compare to South Indian states, Karwa Chauth is more popular in North Indian states. After four days of Karwa Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami Vrat is observed for the wellbeing of children, according to the Drik Panchang.
