“Karwa Chauth 2024: Moonrise Timings for Major Cities and Important Festival Details”
Karwa Chauth, also known as Karaka Chaturthi, is a widely celebrated Hindu festival in India, observed this year on Sunday, October 20, 2024. According to Drik Panchang, the Chaturthi Tithi will start at 6:46 AM on October 20 and end at 4:16 AM on October 21.
One of the most important parts of Karwa Chauth is the sighting of the moon, also known as Chandra Darshan. Married women fast throughout the day, abstaining from both food and water, and break their fast only after seeing the moon at night. This ritual is believed to strengthen the bond between husband and wife and ensure the husband’s long life.
