October 10, 2025—As the sun bids adieu to the horizon and the first stars pierce the velvet sky, the air across India hums with anticipation for Karwa Chauth, the poignant festival where married women conclude their nirjala vrat with the sacred sighting of the moon. Observed today on the Chaturthi Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the Kartik month, the fast—from sunrise at 6:19 AM to moonrise—embodies the profound devotion of wives praying for their husbands’ long life and prosperity.
