Karva Chauth 2021- Date, Time, Significance and much more

Karva Chauth this year is to be celebrated ten days prior to Diwali, on October 24. Karva Chauth fast is celebrated on Krishna Paksha Chaturthi, according to Hindu tradition.

This year's muharat will begin at 5:43 p.m. and finish at 6:59 p.m., according to Drik Panchang. The fasting period for Karva Chauth is from 6:27 a.m. to 8:07 p.m. On October 24, the moon will rise at 8:07 p.m. On October 24, at 3:01 a.m., the Chaturthi will begin and terminate at 5:43 a.m.

The Karva Chauth festival is mainly a marriage celebration. Married ladies keep a nirjala vrat (fasting without water) throughout the day. They wish their spouses a long, healthy, and successful life. Women worship Karva Mata, Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kartikeya, and follow the vrat with utmost dedication and sincerity for their spouses. Women also begin their fast at daybreak and do not have even a drop of water and food until the moon appears. Women who are fasting are adorned in Mehendi and beautiful jewellery and clothes marking the wedded life.

Karwa Chauth is a Hindu women's festival in India that takes place on the fourth day after Purnima (the full moon) in the month of Kartika. Karwa Chauth, like many Hindu festivals, is based on the lunisolar calendar, which takes into consideration all astronomical positions, particularly moon positions, which are utilised to compute key dates. The celebration takes place in the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Kartik, on the fourth day following the full moon.

Despite common belief, during Karva Chauth, ladies fast for the whole day and dress up in magnificent garments and jewellery. Each state has its own set of traditions. In Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, for example, women distribute karvas (pots) among themselves while looking at the moon's reflection in the water or through a sieve. They then sip water from their husband's hands after offering water to the moon. The women then eat and break their fast.
