Karwa Chauth 2025: Karwa Chauth, a significant Hindu festival, will be celebrated on October 10th this year. Married women observe a day-long nirjala (waterless) fast for the well-being, longevity, and prosperity of their husbands, while the fast is broken in the evening after worshipping Karwa Mata and offering arghya to the moon, followed by consuming water from their husband's hands.
Significance of Karwa Chauth
According to religious beliefs, women who observe the Karwa Chauth fast are blessed with 'Akhand Saubhagyavati' (eternal marital bliss). Plus, this fast is believed to strengthen the marital bond and bring happiness to married life. To enhance their prosperity and good fortune, women should worship Karwa Mata and Lord Ganesha on this auspicious day, while it's also believed that donating specific items as per one's zodiac sign can amplify these blessings.
