Karwa Chauth Sargi Time: The Karwa Chauth fast is observed on the Chaturthi (fourth day) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Kartika. This year, this auspicious day falls tomorrow, Thursday, October 29th. On this day, married women observe a fast, praying for their husbands' long life, good health, and a blissful marital life. The fast begins in the morning after consuming 'Sargi' and concludes at night after offering 'Arghya' (libation) to the moon and drinking water offered by their husbands. On this day, women adorn themselves with the 'Solah Shringar' (sixteen traditional adornments), prepare a 'puja thali' (worship plate), and listen to the legend of Karwa Mata. Let us look at the timings for 'Sargi' and the worship of Karwa Mata for tomorrow’s Karwa Chauth, as well as the expected moonrise time.

Karwa Chauth Fast Conclusion (Paran) and Offering 'Arghya'
Karwa Chauth Fast on Thursday – According to the 'Panchang' (Hindu calendar), the Karwa Chauth fast in 2026 will be observed on Thursday, October 29th. The Chaturthi Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartika begins at 1:06 AM (midnight) between October 28th and 29th and concludes at 10:09 PM on October 29th. Based on the 'Udaya Tithi' (the lunar day prevailing at sunrise), Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on October 29th; therefore, women observing the fast should not have any confusion regarding the date.

Karwa Chauth Puja Muhurat (Auspicious Timing) 2026 – The 'Muhurat' holds special significance for the rituals performed on Karwa Chauth. According to the Panchang, the auspicious time for worship this year is from 5:38 PM to 6:56 PM. During this period, women worship Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and Karwa Mata. It is customary to listen to the Karwa Chauth legend and pray for the happiness and prosperity of the family.

Sargi on Karwa Chauth – The tradition of consuming 'Sargi' on Karwa Chauth is highly significant. Typically, a mother-in-law provides 'Sargi' to her daughter-in-law, which includes items such as fruits, sweets, dry fruits, and other food and drink offerings. In many families, this is accompanied by the gifting of clothes and items for adornment (shringar). After consuming the 'sargi', women observe a 'nirjala' fast (a fast without water) from sunrise until moonrise.

Auspicous time for consuming 'sargi' – Tomorrow, on the day of Karwa Chauth, sunrise is expected to occur at approximately 6:30 AM. Therefore, the 'sargi' should be consumed before sunrise. In many families, it is customary to partake in it between 3:30 AM and 5:30 AM. However, the timing of the 'sargi' and the items included may vary according to individual family traditions.

Moonrise time on Karwa Chauth – On the day of Karwa Chauth, women eagerly await the sighting of the moon. According to the 'panchang' (Hindu calendar), the estimated time for moonrise on October 29th is 8:17 PM. Please note that the actual time of moonrise may vary depending on the city and local conditions; therefore, be sure to check the moonrise time for your specific city. After sighting the moon, women offer 'arghya' (a ritual offering of water) and pray for the long life of their husbands. Following this, the fast is broken by consuming water offered by their husbands.
