The festival of Karwa Chauth, symbolising devotion, love, and marital harmony, is being celebrated with great fervour today, October 10, 2025. On this auspicious day, married women across Maharashtra and other parts of India observe a strict nirjala fast, abstaining from both food and water, from sunrise until moonrise. The fast is dedicated to praying for the long life and well-being of their husbands.
Dressed beautifully like brides, women perform Karwa Chauth rituals in the evening by worshipping Lord Ganesha, Goddess Karwa, and later the moon. Once the moon appears, they offer arghya (water offering) to it before breaking their fast, marking the end of the day-long observance.

What If The Moon Is Not Visible?
Sometimes, cloudy skies or weather conditions may hide the moon from view. In such situations, women are advised to conclude their fast according to the local moonrise time as per the schedule, even if the moon is not visible.
During Karwa Chauth, special prayers and rituals are offered to the moon. It is believed that directly gazing at the moon on this day can bring bad luck, which is why women first look at their husbands through a sieve before breaking their fast.
