Karwa Chauth will be observed on October 13. This festival is celebrated by Hindus on the fourth day of the Krishna Paksha or the dark fortnight of Kartik month. Kartik overlaps with the October and November months of the Gregorian calendar. The name of the month is derived from the Krittika Nakshatra.
Karwa Chauth is observed by Hindu married women. The celebration is mostly in the northern parts of the country. On this day, women wake up early in the morning and have sargi. The sargi is consumed before the sunrise. After this, from sunrise till the moon is visible in the evening women do not break their fast. Only after seeing the moon and offering it arghya women break their fast.
