This year Karva Chauth falls on October 19. Today is Karva Chauth, an occasion where predominantly married women in northern India are seen fasting from sunrise to moonrise for their husband's long life and well-being. Karva Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar. This year the auspicious time for Karva Chauth puja is from 5.46 pm to 6.50 pm. Women who will be observing a fast, without even drinking a glass of water, will most definitely be waiting for the timings for moonrise in India.
