Karwa Chauth is meant to strengthen the relationship between husband and wife via some rituals. Married women observe the fast and its customs to ensure the long life of their husbands.

Karwa Chauth rules might seem a bit difficult to follow at first by newly married women, but it gets easier with every passing year. The rules should be followed strictly as Karwa Chauth is an auspicious occasion that brings peace, harmony, and good fortune to people’s lives and families.

All married women break their fast after sighting the moon and worship Lord Shiva before eating Karwa Chauth Sargi in the morning. Without even a sip of water, the fast is strictly kept without food or drink. Karwa Chauth Vrat is a celebration that is greatly loved in Indian culture. It also offers good fortune to shops because Indians enjoy shopping during festive times. Both the husband and the wife dress in traditional Indian festive clothing and enjoy the holiday together.
