Mumbai: Karwa Chauth is observed during the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of Kartik. Karwa Chauth rituals are performed by married women, who fast for the long and healthy life of their husbands. They offer prayers to Lord Shiva and His family, including Lord Ganesha, and break their fast only after seeing the moon and offering Argha (water).
The day is also known as Karak Chaturthi, where ‘Karwa’ or ‘Karak’ refers to the pot used for the water offering to the moon. This pot plays a significant role in the puja, and it is traditionally given as a donation (Dan) to a Brahmin.
While Karwa Chauth is more widely observed in North India, it is less common in southern states. Additionally, four days after Karwa Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami is observed by women for the well-being of their sons.
As you celebrate Karwa Chauth on October 20, 2024, and prepare to celebrate this beautiful festival of love, devotion, and commitment in Australia and Singapore and observe the fast, the moonrise timings hold special significance, as the fast is broken only after sighting the moon. This year, precise timings for moonrise ensure that all rituals are completed according to tradition, making the celebration even more meaningful.
