Mumbai: Karwa Chauth, a significant festival for married Hindu women, will be observed this year on Sunday, October 20, 2024. This festival, which involves fasting and prayers for the health and longevity of husbands, holds deep cultural significance, particularly in North India.
Women throughout the country undertake a rigorous fast, abstaining from both food and water until they can see the moon. On this day, devotees pay homage to Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Lord Ganesha, Kartikeya, and the Moon God. Once the moon is sighted and the associated rituals are performed, they break their fast by looking at their husband’s face through a sieve.
