How the date is chosen
Kartika Krishna Chaturthi (amanta: Ashwina) at moonrise: the evening the Moon rises while Chaturthi is running, because the fast is broken after seeing the Moon. If no moonrise falls in Chaturthi, the day it is at sunrise.
About Karva Chauth
Kartika Krishna Chaturthi. Married women traditionally fast from sunrise until moonrise for their husband's well-being, then see the Moon and break the fast. The fast is a choice — health comes first.
Times are for New Delhi (IST). In other cities sunrise, moonrise and muhurat times differ by some minutes, and now and then the day itself differs. Festival times for your city →
