Karwa Chauth 2025 date is October 10, with fasts observed from sunrise to moonrise at 8:13 PM. Women worship Chauth Mata, perform rituals, and pray for their spouse’s well-being. This Hindu festival emphasizes love, sacrifice, and the sacred marital bond. From sargi in the morning to puja rituals in the evening, Karwa Chauth continues to inspire faith and togetherness across India every year.
Karwa Chauth falls on Friday, October 10, 2025. Married women skip food and water all day praying for their husband's health and long life. Young unmarried women sometimes join hoping to find a good partner.
The fast happens during Chaturthi Tithi starting October 9 at 10:54 pm and ending October 10 at 7:38 pm. The moon rises at 8:13 pm. Women watch for it to appear then offer water to the moon before breaking their fast.
Fasting starts at 6:19 am and runs until moonrise. The puja mahurat will start between 5:57 pm and 7:11 pm. All the Women gather during this time to pray and light clay lamps filled with oil and listen to the vrat katha (the story behind the festival). The ritual wraps up when the moon appears. They offer arghya (water in a brass vessel), then look at their husband's face through a metal sieve before taking their first sip of water and bite of food.
Before sunrise breaks, women eat sargi (a pre-dawn meal their mother in law prepares with fruits, nuts, sweets and fried bread). They dress in bright red or pink suits. Glass bangles cover their arms. Mehendi stains their palms dark orange from designs applied the night before. Many touch neither food nor water all day. Evening brings families to courtyards or rooftops to pray and wait together.
Karwa Chauth shows love and trust between husband and wife. People usually believe it brings blessings and good health also good fortune to the family. Beyond fasting, it's also when all the mothers, daughters and sisters gather creating bonds that last through generations and it does.
On October 10, women across India will scan the darkening sky for that first silver curve of moon following a ritual that blends faith with family ties.
