Karva Chauth

Karva Chauth is a significant Hindu vrat primarily observed by married women, particularly in North India. On the fourth day of the Krishna Paksha in the Kartik month, women undertake a day-long fast without food or water to pray for the long life, good health, and prosperity of their husbands. The fast is traditionally broken after sighting the moon in the evening, followed by offering Arghya to Chandra Dev and performing the Karva Chauth Puja. Many traditions also include listening to or reciting the Karva Chauth Vrat Katha during the day.
