When is Karwa Chauth? Every date and every fast hold a special significance in Hinduism. One such fast is Karwa Chauth, observed every year on the Chaturthi Tithi of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of Kartik month, to attain eternal happiness. On Karwa Chauth, women adorn themselves with sixteen adornments and observe a waterless fast for their husbands' long life. This year, there is confusion regarding the Karwa Chauth fast. Let's learn from Ujjain's Acharya Anand Bhardwaj when this fast is.

According to the Vedic calendar, the Chaturthi Tithi of the Krishna Paksha of Kartik month begins at approximately 10:54 pm on October 9th and ends at approximately 7:38 pm on October 10th. Therefore, this year's Karwa Chauth fast will be observed on Friday, October 10th.

The festival of eternal happiness will be celebrated in an auspicious yoga.
This year's Karwa Chauth fast falls under Siddhi Yoga and Krittika Nakshatra. Siddhi Yoga on Karwa Chauth lasts from early morning until 5:41 pm. After that, Vyatipat Yoga will occur. On that day, the Krittika Nakshatra is from morning till 5:31 pm, followed by the Rohini Nakshatra.

Women observe a Nirjala Vrat.
On Karva Chauth, married women observe a Nirjala Vrat for the long life of their husbands. They break the fast in the evening after offering prayers to the moon. This fast begins from sunrise until moonrise. During this time, fasting women abstain from food or water.

Why is the Moon Worshipped?
On Karva Chauth, the Moon is worshipped to pray for the husband's long life, unbroken good fortune, and happiness and peace in marital life. The Moon is considered a symbol of peace, prosperity, and mental stability. Worshipping the Moon calms the mind, strengthening the relationship between husband and wife. It also honors the elements of water and earth, which are associated with marital happiness.
