Married women observe a nirjala (waterless) fast, praying for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. It’s a day of love, trust, and dedication.
Karwa Chauth has roots in ancient traditions where women prayed for their husbands' safe return from wars and for good harvests during the wheat-sowing season.
Karwa Chauth not only honors marriage but also celebrates the bond of friendship among women, who exchange karvas filled with sweets and jewelry.
Unmarried girls are now also participating in Karwa Chauth, hoping to attract ideal life partners. It symbolizes love, hope, and the desire for a fulfilling relationship.
Whether you're fasting or celebrating, Karwa Chauth is a beautiful occasion to honor love and devotion. Happy Karwa Chauth 2024!
